On mine, they are aphids. Washing them into the water is probably the

Thanks, Charles and Jan. I'll try a combination of washing off and
then squishing them. Might be hard to squish because they are so
small. I might have to get into the pond to get to reach all the
leaves. Brrr!

Jan, I agree it does seem like the aphids are attracted to the old
dying leaves, I don't see many at all on new leaves.
