    This photo is uploaded quite a long time ago, but I doubt the bug is Aphids fabae. I think that it is Macrosiphum rosae (Rose aphid).
    I have just made some photos of aphids and searching JD discovered this photo.

    The Wiki page shows only green specimen, but they could be redish as well.
    The Black bean aphids are with white antennae and legs, wider rounded body, with shorter back growths and not so shiny.
