ArM	0.9738	2019.88 ± 818.77	1870.28 ± 812.11	2.54 ± 0.06	0.46 ± 0.02
ArF	0.9498	2760.49 ± 604.09	2352.20 ± 544.69	3.67 ± 0.28	0.29 ± 0.03
ApF	0.9707	2077.92 ± 714.66	1803.31 ± 624.35	2.97 ± 0.28	0.37 ± 0.02
ApM	0.9472	3060.83 ± 490.91	2686.05 ± 429.84	3.14 ± 0.19	0.43 ± 0.06

The diversity of bacterial communities is reflected through the Shannon and Simpson indices, and the richness of the community is reflected by the Chao1 and ACE indices.

ArM male adults fed with artificial diet for 15 days, ArF female adults fed with artificial diet for 15 days, ApM male adults fed with aphids for 15 days, ApF female adults fed with aphids for 15 days.
