Oleander Aphid (Aphis nerii)

Observer

Description

These aphids are infesting a cultivated Asclepias fascicularis (milkweed).

At least two hover flies were also in the vicinity, landing on the Asclepias and on a cultivated Eriogonum fasciculatum (California buckwheat). Hover fly larvae feed on aphids, so the flies might have been laying eggs.
