...A general term for insects belonging to the superfamily Aphidoidea in the order Hemiptera. The name "aphid" comes from the fact that children in the Edo period would crush these insects that swarmed around plants and apply the liquid to their hair to make it shiny, but since many species live symbiotically with ants and are protected by the ants' excretions, the name "arimaki" (meaning ant farm) is also widely used. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Aphidoidea" is listed below.
