Aphids on trumpet honeysuckle 5/11/08 - Hyadaphis

Aphids on trumpet honeysuckle 5/11/08 - Hyadaphis
Churchville Nature Center, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
May 11, 2008
A big crowd of immatures, adults and winged adults on trumpet honeysuckle. Maybe somebody knows what aphids especialize on this plant.
There is a species called honeysuckle aphids Hyadaphis tataricae; I wonder if this is it.
There were some Syrphid maggots eating the aphids 5/13/08

This is in fact a Hyadaphis.

 
Thank you
Could it be Hyadaphis tataricae, the honeysuckle aphid? The deformity of the leaves fits the description.
