The species is widely distributed in Europe, eastward to China, Japan and Korea. It has also been introduced into north-eastern USA and Canada.
Adult apterae of Aphis craccae are covered in a dense layer of grey wax powder. It lives in dense, ant-attended colonies on the terminal growth, flowers and seed-pods of vetches (Vicia spp.), especially tufted vetch (Vicia cracca). Oviparae and alate males appear in September.
