learn some cool stuff on the OT sometimes. I thought those where Aphids too, but decided to google this. I tried two bug identifiers and described what I saw in the image and Assassin Bug came up each time and I still didn't believe it until i googled the nymphs and saw the similar bugs as in OP.

Certainly looks like them. Thanks so much....

that's not an assassin bug in your pics, but a leaf footed/legged bug. I only know because the bastards, aka squash bugs, give me hell every summer on my tomatoes. the nymphs are very, very similar, but since I can't see a proboscis and they are in a pack, I'm pretty sure they're leaf legged.
here's a link with the same two pics you showed calling them leaf footed

and here's one from the LSU ag center giving a detailed comparison
