Anyone able to help me out here with identifying this bug? I can't spend 10 minutes in my garden without having at least one waltzing over me. They're annoying just because there are so many of them! They're like, say, 5mm tall or so, not huge. The pic should show that clearly unless you really believe that those fingers belong to a giant. Location is in the Netherlands.

@trinsec Looks like an aphid, perhaps?
@trinsec uncanny. I read your reply, feel something on my leg, and there one is...
@mpk23 Damn! They can spread digitally! Resilient little buggers!
@mpk23 Looks like the Dutch name might be 'bladluis' (leaf lice), which surprises me. I thought they were way smaller than that. Like 2mm at most. Huh.
