Looks like aphid to me
 
 
I will also say I have had another bad year with flea beetles, hard to catch them on the plant but they create tons of small holes.

While it is an aphid...it might be one that a wasp has friendlies incubating in.

I have a bunch on one of my tomato plants and while they seem to be killing the aphids...they are not completely getting rid of them.

Guy and gals I had a bigger problem 3 weeks ago when we went from our normal70-80 degree days to 2 straight high 90 weeks with 30 mph winds.By-by flowers.I do want to solve the little buggers that must own a shotgun the way some of the leaves look.Thank you all for chiming in.

I'm fortunate to have a solid population of aphid hunting parasitic wasps that return every year just as the monsters' population starts to explode in the spring.  They never do wipe out all the buggers, but do keep the Green Hordes in check, to the point that they are essentially harmless to the plants.

Do NOT neem, spray, crush, or otherwise molest those 'fat aphids.'  Each one contains a tiny alien terror that will, if left to its own devices, kill dozens / hundreds of the enemy.
