Aphids are born pregnant! Not only are they born pregnant but their babies are clones of the aphids themselves so they don't need a mate to reproduce. All this means that it only takes one aphid to infest a garden and once they run out of food they breed new young with wings. The new young fly to a new spot to feast.
