Cavariella konoi is a species of aphid in the family Aphididae. It is a small, soft-bodied insect growing to about 2.5 mm (0.1 in) long. The body is oval, pale yellowish green, sometimes with a pair of darker green, longitudinal bands. Wingless females are found on the leaves of willow Salix spp. during the summer where they reproduce parthenogenetically and form large populations.
