Feeding exclusively or primarily on aphids; describes animals that are specialized aphid-eaters.
Combines 'aphido-' (relating to aphids) with '-phagous' from Greek 'phagein' (to eat). This precise biological term describes feeding specialization in entomology.
Some insects become so specialized that they only eat one kind of food—an aphidophagous ladybug is like a restaurant that serves only one dish perfectly.
