They aren't aphids, they are common named tomato bugs. Engytatus Modestus is their taxonomic name. Formerly called Cyrtopeltus Modestus. They are a true bug with a hard body, and Neem wont even touch them, it only kills soft bodied insects. They love to feed on tomato blossoms and then they fall off. The only thing I found that actually killed mine was, unfortunately, Sevin. I have gotten them for 2 years now, they are horrible.
