Another pest in cammies!

Spotted this insect or aphid in camouflage - crawling around on the Kumquat plant, planning damage like a guerilla!



Wonder if the "wings" are functional, if it can fly?? I supposed it could, else how did it get on the kumquat or maybe it help the aphid to "ride" the wind because the wings don't look like they could flap!

P.S. Here is one more I found today 11 Jan 2012 - a Puli of the insect world ~ I think it is a camouflaged aphid. See its size - 3 mm(?) relative to the lime leaf!
