Adult apterae of Aphis confusa are pale green, mottled to a greater or lesser degree with darker green. In spring as ± 2 mm long, green or dark green aphids high in the plants and in the inflorescence. In summer as smaller, pale yellow or yellowish green aphids at the underside of leaves, at the base of stems or on roots. Intensely ant-attended.
Aphis confusa is a member of the Aphis frangulae group, and is difficult to distinguish from other members of that group - especially Aphis gossypii, which also occurs on Scabiosa.
