Please excuse the lack of focus. I was dressed for work when I saw some spots moving on a wild flower so I just did a few quick shots. What kind of bugs are these? I'll try a re-shoot tomorrow if they are still around.

Without doubt, these are aphids. Possibly Rosy Apple aphids: http://bugguide.net/node/view/111222/bgimage

I've always thought aphids were white, boy do I have a lot to learn about macro shooting and identifying what it is I'm shooting.

Yes, Aphids come in many colors. These are the first head-standing Aphids I can recall seeing.

Re-shoot. It was windy so I pushed the wildflower to the ground to get a good shot.

Curious that these are not doing head stands. :|
