Those are, I'm fairly certain, an alternate variety of ladybugs....

BTW, if you all put out hummingbirds feeders and plant flowers hummers
like, (ask me and I'll be happy to tell you), the hummers are remarkably
good at keeping down the aphid population.  Aphids are one of their
favorite snacks, which is not surprising considering the aphids, are filled
with sugar water....

I've had nary an aphid all year and lots and lots of flying jewels :).
