Hello, I’ve just found these larvae all over my acer tree! Are they aphids or something else? What will happen? The tree is covered on every leaf 😟

    Blackfly?
    You may be able to squirt them off with a hose

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    If they are not removed with a hosepipe then they may be scale insects. In which case the would need brushing away (or if really bad a systemic insecticide).
