    • Why is "produce" past tense? Astro interest (talk) 17:09, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
      • I think simply because that is the word I used in the article "Winged forms are produced after three generations". So it really should be either "produce" in this case or re-worded slightly to something like "That winged adult vetch aphid (pictured) are only produced after three generations?"Man Over-bored (talk) 12:08, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
