Here we go again. APHIDS maybe?

19 years ago

I just walked out to the pepper garden, and there were thousands and thousands (maybe??) of these tiny little flying insects. Maybe they were flying out of the tree in the front yard. On inspection these bugs are maybe a 1/4-1/18 centimeter long, their bodys are black from what i could tell, and their wings which are clear are held folded up above their abdomens, like a A-frame or tent. Does this sound like some type of aphid or thrip? last winter i tried to overwinter some peppers and i had little green aphids all over the plants. I could only save one which ended up dying because it got frosted in may. any help would be great! I would really like to try and keep the plants as bug free as possible this year. any info would be awesome. Thanks
