aphids on water lily

aphids on water lily
Shaw Nature Reserve near Gray Summit, Franklin County, Missouri, USA
Size: <2 mm
Photo by Missouri Department of Conservation nature photographer Danny Brown shows aphids on a water lily peduncle. Any aphids known from this plant, or might these simply have been perched there, having flown or crawled up from something more permanently emergent nearby?

Moved from Aphidoidea.

Water lily aphids
Rhopalosiphum nymphaeae would be the prime suspect, I think.
