Aphid - Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman

Ok, so I dunno if this has been pointed out, but if so, oh well.
Do you remember when Bree mentioned that story in the book "Surely You're Joking, Mr.Feynman" about ants? Well, I recently got the book (I've gotten to the ants part. It's a great read so far!) and in the part Bree was talking about, Feynman discusses ants...and aphids. Here is the definition of the word aphid.
Any of various small, soft-bodied insects of the family Aphididae that have mouthparts specially adapted for piercing and feed by sucking sap from plants. Also called plant louse.
Ok, so I just wanted to point this out, incase it hasn't already been.
Maybe Bree tried to point us in this direction long ago.
Sorry if this has already been pointed out.
