We have an area where there are ants and black aphids. We know not to plant things like kale here for that reason. I\'ve recently noticed that the clover in this area is covered in orange spots (see photos attached). I was just about to plant some cosmos and some lettuce but I\'m trying to figure out what I\'m dealing with before doing so. I will definitely be removing all affected plants in this bed but before doing so wanted folks\' help in pest identification.

Thanks much.
