I have a lot of what looks like aphids on my tomatillos and blueberries - not causing much damages really. However, they are very, very red. I knew they could be back and green, but red??

QuoteThere are over 500 species in Britain, fortunately only a few are garden pests; most are specific to one or two plant species. The Peach - potato aphid (Myzus persicae) is the green one which is most often seen on a wide range of plants, but can range in colour from yellow, all shades of green, to pink, red and almost black. ...

Thanks Redclanger - that helps to confirm that they are indeed aphids. Hope i don't see any pink ones as my neices probably won't let me kill them!
