Pea Aphid Culture – 1000ml (Megoura viciae)

Our Megoura viciae Pea Aphid Culture is supplied in a generous 1000ml container with an active, feeding colony ready for immediate use.

Megoura viciae is a slightly larger pea aphid species, making it particularly suitable for keepers who require a more substantial soft-bodied feeder compared to smaller aphid varieties.

Why Choose Megoura viciae?

• Larger-bodied aphid species

• Soft, highly digestible feeder

This species is especially useful for:

• Praying mantis nymphs and sub-adults

Their movement and clustering behaviour make them highly effective at triggering feeding responses.
