  Is it a willow? They look like Giant Willow Aphids but there are a few similar species.
  

  If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

  These are blackfly. If you have alot of ants you will have blackfly. The ants farm them for their honey dew so the ants will kill any beneficials like ladybirds which feed on aphids. You can hose the bf's off your plants but they're sticky little buggers. Hope that helps. 😊
