Acyrthosiphon pissum
A plant full of pea aphids! Really a lot! You can see the normal green aphids and orange morphs (adults and offspring).
Extremely adaptable
Th orange aphids variation is due to the carotenoids that some of the aphids produce. There is also a white one in the second picture, I don't know why does this variation happen.
