Interesting - they certainly didn't move in close-up photography.

No sex involved with aphids, they just keep pumping babies out. The first ones are wingless but when a colony gets crowded they will produce winged ones which then migrate to other plants.

Bob - they are alive, but hang onto anything you push them with.

 Loath to fly.
