Adults are 8 mm long, are greyish-brown with a V-shaped pale mark near the middle of the back and have a prominent snout... Larvae and adults chew sections out of the leaves of seedlings, usually in the evening and night... Eggs laid in the surface litter of the soil in autumn hatch into larvae that feed during the night on developing plants and shelter in the soil during the day...

Larvae may have dark stripes along their back and a cream or yellow band along each side; pale cream larvae may only have very faint stripes... Larvae are primarily foliage feeders in soybeans but will attack flowers and developing pods of adzuki beans, mungbeans and navy beans... In azuki beans, mungbeans, and navy beans, where flowers and pods are attacked, the threshold is set at three looper larvae per square metre...

Adults showing dark bands around the antennae segments... Photo: D Ironside Adult showing tube-like projections at the rear of the body... In eastern Australia, aphids appear to have declined in pest status since the introduction to Australia of bluegreen aphid (BGA) and spotted alfalfa aphid (SAA) in the 1970s when they caused widespread damage...
