Not sure if this insect has a relationship with the aphids? On the 2 occasions I saw it, it was near or on the aphids.

Several mirids are predators and others are omnivorous. Sidnia is a minor crop pest and could well take a feed off aphids in passing.

Thanks for the explanation, Roger. I won't be upset if some aphids go missing.
