Default What are these nymphs?

These are on butterfly flowers. Not sure if they are good or bad. I don’t think they are aphid nymphs. Does anyone know?

I think they are aphids. Milkweed is very prone to them.

If those are aphids, they're awfully big aphids with full belly's and not nymphs.

Whatever they were I sprayed them with Neem. But the heat index is 108 so I’ll wait til tomorrow to check them out. In Wisconsin 108 heat index isn’t common. 1-2 times in a normal summer.

You can wash them off with a stream of water or try insecticidal soap. Be careful with Neem because it will kill the bees and butterflies attracted to the flowers.
