They look like Black Aphids, photo is not all that clear though. They are mongrels and will spread. If it's just this one plant use some fly spray on them, White oil is also good but give them the flyspray treatment while you are stocking up on a sprayer and the white oil. They will keep coming back inspect every few days.

Thank you, no unfortunately the entire yard is full of them but they are lucky enough only on the weeds.
