I live in a suburb of Chicago if that helps as well.

They all look like aphids to me. They come in alot of different colors. You can blast them off with the hose. Just not to hard of a spray.

And/or squish!

Great, thank you!

Just for clarification and for your future reference, aphids are insects not eggs. You can Google 'aphids' for all kinds of info on them.

To clarify on DigDirt's post - Aphids CAN and DO come from eggs - but not always. Aphids lay eggs typically in colder seasons, such as fall. When established (such as in summer) the females will give birth to females because they are viviparous. It is not true that aphids don't produce eggs - they do, which is why they become such a pest in spring and the cycle continues.
