They could be tarnished plant bugs. These critters are very "flighty" and seem to disappear when you disturb the bloom they are on (or they run to the backside of the flower). They are about 1/8" long and have patterning on their backs, and are oval-shaped. They do leave black spots. They are on my daylily blooms and zinnias. A small number of them don't do much harm, but a large infestation will attack the buds before they bloom and warp them. They are difficult to control; most sites I've seen just recommend that you keep weeds at bay and remove garden litter. Google them and you can take a look.

SEARS TOWER was just covered with little black bugs the other day, I took photos. I'll post one tomorrow after I add them to my photobucket account. BTW it was the only flower in the garden they liked.

Did they look like this?

This is SEARS TOWER, it was the only flower they seemed to like.

I did see the ones on mine today, just the one tho. There doesn't seem to be any more around, the daylilies are now clean. Mine was definitely the Tarnished Plant Bug. Marg
