本文描述了麦长管蚜的虫害清除行为。蜜露从胆汁中排出，就像牙膏从管子里冒出来一样。虽然88%的工蜂为1龄，但观察到所有龄期的幼虫都吐出了蜜露。没有蚜虫攻击放置在虫胆中的其他昆虫。这表明，在Hormaphidini部落，劳工已经进化，没有伴随着对捕食者的防御行为。
Gall-cleaning behavior of the aphid Hormaphis betulae is described. Honeydew is pushed out of the gall resembling toothpaste appearing out of a tube. Immatures of all instars were observed pushing out honeydew, although 88% of the laborers were 1st instar. No aphids attacked other insects placed in the gall. It is suggested that labor has evolved without accompanying defense behavior against predators in the tribe Hormaphidini.
