I have Aster plants. Thank you for the bug identification. I now understand the bug better. And thankful for the Aster plants the aphids don't infest and kill my vegetable garden.

As I'd found this:
Compromise with the enemy. Grow plants that attract aphids, like asters, cosmos, larkspur, dahlias, and zinnias, but plant them away from the plants you want to protect. The aphids will be drawn to these plants and will stay away from less appetizing plants as a result.
