The Aphids that Killed one hundred Garlic Plants

Size: a mm or two
These beasts attacked the onions first and then decimated my gourmet garlic
Could this be Neotoxoptera formosana?

Could be.
There are a few species that will feed on the genus Allium including Neotoxoptera formosana, N. oliveri, Myzus persicae, M. ascalonicus, and M. cymbalariae. Both genera have similar characteristics and are hard to distinguish from pictures. N. formosana seems to be the most common pest of this plant genus though.

Sounds like a good title for a horror movie, Rob.
On second thought, I guess it was.
