    Thry look like aphids to me. Nothing serious. Squash them with your fingers.

    Aphids.
    If they were in my garden I would be spraying them before they got any worse than that.
    If you don't want to use chemicals mix up some water & washing up liquid & spray them with that.

    Aphids. I have these on my calendula. Horrid things. You can see some ants in your photo. They are farming them.

    The ants might be farming the aphids but they don't do it fast enough !!!
