What was the host plant?
These are probably oleander aphid but none of them are adults.

I didn't keep the plant label
and have no idea what species it might be. I'm hoping the store will offer this plant again so I can find out its name.

Ok!
I’ll move the pics to oleander aphid since it’s a good data point. I don’t know of any other aphid that is this bright yellow and black but if you find out the host plant let me know!

A friend told me
that this plant is a milkweed, Asclepias sp. (bought at Home Depot).
