    “Aphididae are canonical lettuce pests worldwide; classification and damage_type appropriate for sap-feeding pressure on foliage.”

  • entomologist · plausible

    “Aphids are well-known lettuce pests (e.g., Nasonovia, Myzus); family-level attribution with pest_pressure damage type is appropriate.”
