The second pic definitely looks like aphids. I'd use a strong blast of soapy water, top and bottom sides of the leaves (LEMON AJAX - not antibacterial - use regular)

I agree with Gymgirl, the second is aphids. The top photo looks like a snail. Might be just the high magnification that makes it look like that.
