Scentless plant bug nymphs

The photo is not very clear, however they are not baby lady beetles. Lady beetle larva are spiky - see this photo and comments about the lady beetle larva - http://www.simplegiftsfarm.com/black-and-orange-spiky-bug-lady-beetle-larva-comments.html
Because the insects are clustered and are not on milkweed, then they are probably one of the scentless plant bug nymphs or a leaffooted bug (coreidae) nymph of some sort.
They kind of look like boxelder bug nymphs except they only eat boxelder trees and related maple trees.
If you find an adult insect, we would be able to identify it, but so many of the nymphs(young) true bugs look similar.
