Good eye Marsha!
These aphid nymphs are so tiny that they can't be seen with the naked eye, but the camera easily exposes them. I know a lot of people would be fooled by the spotting and yellowing of the leaves into thinking it was a fungal problem like Septoria or bacterial spot or speck.
In the case of spider mites, my camera may not be able to pick up details of the mites body but probably show the black spots on the two spotted mites. We'll see, it's not hot and dry enough yet up here for spider mites to thrive but I'll be checking often because you never know.
