looks similar to milkweed bugs to me. I would watch to see if they are actually causing any damage. Might even be trying to help you out in some way.

Luc, son ninfas de chinche. Por la pinta que tienen parecen fitófagas, pero hay especies que se alimentan de pulgones y orugas. Tendrías que observar si clavan la trompa en la planta o en los bichos que se alimentan de ella para saber si son perjudiciales o beneficiosas.

these are true bugs, in nymph stage, they suck plant juices, and can be problematic for certain crops...but some are assassin bugs that eat other bugs...and are beneficial...i can't tell which you have...but im leaning towards the ones that suck juices of plants
