Re: garden pest ID

Aphids were definitely a guess; I knew they were suckers of some kind. But they seems so leggy and I'd never seen them before this year. Both times they were on Heliopsis. First time they were on little starts in back yard. This ime on mature plant in front yard.

They look like some kind of aphid to me....and I've seen them before, but
never in such a large amount at one time.  Wow.

OK, what ARE these pesky critters? I found them earlier this year sucking
the life out of some small plants and killed them off. but now they have 
literally covered every inch of a larch Heliopsis Loraine Sunshine.  I
tried
to spray, but I now I'll never get them all.  Should I just cut Loraine
down
completely to head off the possibility that these bugs will lay eggs if
left
to long on the plant?
