I think these are nymphs of the milkweed bug... Oncopeltus fasciatus. Had them all over my milkweed last year... very annoying. I had to gently scrape them off and smash them as any spray would have harmed the monarch caterpillars that have to eat the milkweed.
Interesting specimen with an unusual shade of orange.
