Possibly Aphids...........Use jet stream water to wash them away or soap water or any general purpose pesticide.

Re: Pests on Annuals
Use Imidacloprid.these are green & black Aphids which normally attack apex soft leaves in early spring.use the pesticide as soon soon possible before flowering.pesticides damage blooms so they should be used before flowering.
