Anoecia corni, the dogwood aphid, is a species of aphid in the subfamily Anoeciinae. The species has been recorded as a pest of millets.[1] It is native to Europe but has been introduced to North America.[2] The fundatrices typically lay their eggs on dogwood trees, and the alate aphids fly onto grasses during the summer, where they are tended to by ants.[3]
