so many bugs

Hi all,

I have two thriving sweet 100s and a window box roma doing pretty well in plastic tubs in my back yard, but they have so many bugs!

There are things that are obviously aphids, some with and some without wings, but recently these black things have arrived. They are the size of the aphids, round, and shiny-black. There are also some things that looks similar to the aphids, but with longer legs than their bretheren. Do I just have the world's most varied aphid infestation, or something else?

The strange thing is that my plants don't really seem bothered by these things. They're growing just fine, with the occasional misshapen leaf or two. They haven't yet set fruit, so I want to make sure that they aren't going to have problems with these bugs once they do set fruit. The bugs are on the stems mostly, but also the leaves and flowers.

Any ideas?
