Dear, I found this small guy in Torino, one week ago. I am not even sure about the order, and I have been able to take just this picture. Length about 3 mm. Can anyone help me?  |

Hi Dear,
You have photographed an aphid.
Which does happen to be in the Order Hemiptera btw im no expert on these so i wont attempt to id it any further than the obvious. I see them on my roses every year and that's enough for me.

I have also thought of aphids, but this was actually different from aphids that I always see there on the same spot. And shouldn't it have two cornicles (siphunculi) emerging from the end of the body? That's why I have doubts, but maybe I'm wrong! Thanks anyway  |

If you magnify your picture you will see a cornicle on the right side at the end of its body.
