aphids are bugs, they lay eggs. VERY nice captures.

I'm not sure if all aphids do this, but some give off a sweet nectar and some species of ants actually milk the aphids for it. I don't really have a clue if that's what it is though.
Nice shot by the way.:)

Lovely series.
Yes most of the time aphids do give birth to live young except in the Autumn when winged adults mate and then lay eggs for overwintering.
Your shots however simply show an aphid defaecating a drop of honeydew- normally ants go around collecting this for food.

The shot below does show an aphid birth
