Aphis nerii
Large yellow aphids, mostly nymphs (I only observed two adults). I think the translucent, slug-like animals are syrphid larvae. I saw a milkweed assassin bug hanging around, and the next day they were all dead with nothing but empty exoskeletons left behind.

Hi! Nice Spotting! it looks to me as an oleander aphid, if that plant is a milkweed then it's settled.
