Insect that perform photosynthesis !!

There is an insect that can perform photosynthesis!

The aphids are among the few animals that can perform photosynthesis. They can do this because of the genes that they can steal from fungi through a physical and chemical process called lateral transfer. Green aphids produce the most ATP, orange aphids produce an intermediate amount, and white aphids produce almost none.This plant-bug freak is called the pea aphid; dismissed by farmers as pests, but a fascinating work of nature. Alain Robichon of the Sophia Agro Biotech Institute in France recent conducted a study on pea aphid. He reported that they use pigments called carotenoids to harvest the sun’s energy and make ATP, a molecule that acts as a store of chemical energy.
