Thank you Natalie
2011 there were Aphids on everything. Thankfully haven't seen populations like that since.

So cool!
These are oviparous females laying eggs, and I think that may be a male mating with a female sticking out on the right side. Sexual morphs are not observed as often as the asexuals, so this is interesting.

Looking at the aphids recorded on Rosa, I believe these are Maculolachnus submaculata but not positive on the species.
