They don't look like aphids.
Either hypoaspis miles which are harmless or
bulb mites that are harmful. They look almost identical.

Springtail or Fungus Gnat larvae, I belong. NBD. Use neem, diatomaceous earth, or pyrethrins if necessary.

First picture they are between the yellow trap wire hanger for size comparison.
They like hanging around dead organic matter as you can kind of see it in picture 1 they move slow. I'm guessing they might be bulb mites?
