What are these guys?

Just reaching out here for some ID help on these critters? They don't seem to be doing much damage that I can see (so far, anyway), and they appear to like the Early Girl leaves much more than any of the other cherry varieties I have. Thinking Aphids, but don't have enough pest experience to know for sure and I thought those were really only a problem when it gets hot (we have only cracked 80deg here for a couple days so far)?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on what these are, and if I should be concerned?

Look like lacewings to me. If so, great bug to have. Do the happy dance!

Oh, cool!!! Thanks for the help!! Of course, now I'll say that "thinking aphids" in my OP was me 100% saying "thinking aphid predators"!!!! LOL.
