My lilies are infested with these yucky things. They may be aphids, but I have never seen any like that. YUK! Some are black, some are white, some are dark green/blue.

Yep, they're aphids. There are several different species of aphid and often their colors can vary greatly. You should see the bright orange ones that feed on Asclepias (the milkweeds).

I just took the whole plant and gave it a nice bath in the tub. Hopefully that takes care of them
