What is this insect/pest on my living room wall? #773357

Asked September 28, 2021, 2:42 AM EDT

I've recently noticed some insects/pests on the corner of my wall, there seems to be some "blistering" of my drywall around the area (exterior facing wall). Is this a pest? Is this harmful? Can this a greater issue behind the walls?

Hey there - These appear to be aphids! They must be lost. They would be looking for some plant tissue. I have managed to bring aphids on the house on fresh greens, houseplants, even my clothes. Are they still around?

Thanks for your question,
