My solution was to destroy the plant. It was done producing for the season, anyway.
I then went through all the leaves of my other plants and smudged off any similar-looking things.
All my other plants are still fine. It was scary for a moment, there – but they really only went hard on this one particular plant. They struck overnight, the bastards. Didn’t even look up what they could be.

I found out over the summer that green aphids are really attracted to Okra plants and black aphids to tobacco plants.
They left my pepper plants alone and only went after the ones i grew as trap plants.
