Can you tell me what is going on here? Are these all the same species of aphid in differing stages, or are there different species here?
Thanks!

Look like Bird-Cherry Oat Aphid
Not many aphids feed on that species of Prunus, and these are Rhopalosiphum. Rhopalosipum padi is the Bird-Cherry Oat Aphid.
They have some different morphs throughout the growing season, some are shiny and green, some are waxy, some are reddish, and they usually have orange spots around the siphunculi.
