Small milkweed bug

Your photo is of the small milkweed bug. The adults and nymphs feed on seeds of a wide variety of plants. They are also known to suck nectar from flowers and have been reported to be predators on other insects.
It is not considered a garden pest. If you feel they are causing a problem you could collect them by hand and put them in a container of soapy warm water.
