Wherever the host species* occur (*see under ‘Life History:’ below)
Aphids may be found whenever the host species are in leaf.
Cavariella theobaldi host alternates between Willows (Salix species) and some umbellifers mainly Wild Parsnip (Pastinaca) and Hogweed (Heracleum).
The species appears to be widespread in Britain, but true status is difficult to determine due to lack of records.
Status in Leicestershire and Rutland not known.
