Stolen from another pic in this series: "milkweed bugs on seed pod (they eat seeds)". As far as I found: Oncopeltus fasciatus.

Thank you! You are correct! Another NGA member identified them by their common name, milkweed bugs, in a tree mail message. As a result of knowing the ID, I found that Wikipedia has lots of interesting information about them here:
