It could be a Chironomid.

I was thinking the same thing. I've seen small, bright green midges
before, but it was on a lake. They did look a little like aphids in
color, but not shape.

How about a lacewing? They are probably bigger than you saw though.

No, definitely not a lacewing. I'm very familiar with lacewings, and
their aroma. The bugs I saw were much smaller than your average
mosquito. I'd say #22-24. The bright green color was about the only way
you could pick them out on the surface.
