Ok I think I have ID the black bean aphid, from this photo . . .

Maybe they are all black flies or are some of them the pacific spider mite or the twospotted spider mite
Anyone ID the other partiers ??? I am kind of upset because there doesn't seem to be any treatment for the Bean Aphid.
Unless you know of one? HELP
Black Bean Aphids having a PARTY on my pole beans!!!!
If they are aphids, maybe they can be hosed off with a brisk spray of water? Perhaps an insecticidal soap would work? I think Shoe and others make a stinky garlic & pepper spray that might keep them from coming back after they are sprayed off? Good luck! I just hate to see all the little buggers feasting on the fruits of all your labor!
