This year it's the worst I've seen since moving here in 2007 for Blue Ash Aphids

@NorthernInvader Uh oh. I saw one! What is that fairy-blue insect? 🤷🏼♀️ Then it disappeared. So thanks for posting this!
Fortunately, I just sprayed Neem Oil over all my dahlias and chrysanthemums bc teeny tiny black bugs were covering flower stems - icky!
@QueenOfEverything Likely aphids @NorthernInvader
yes, black aphids- very creepy.
@gemswinc Huge clouds of them here
