They are found everywhere that their host plants grow, and within certain constraints, they are generalist feeders. Oleander, a member of the dogbane family, is found throughout the southern U.S., but in this neck of the woods, they mainly grow on milkweeds./field-station/wp-content/uploads/sites/380/2016/10/aphids-oleander13-3rz.jpg
