CLOSED: Harlequin 0or Not?

Pikesville, MD(Zone 7a)

At first I noticed what appeared to be clusters of reddish aphids, but now days later they have matured. They are all over my "swamp milkweed" seed pods. Identification and next steps, please.
Thank you all.

RxBenson,
This forum is for questions relating to adding data to the BugFiles database.

We have a forum on Insect and Spider Identification here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/bugid/all/
and if you post your question there, you may get some help,

If you have an image, you could attach it to the message you post for a better chance of getting an identification

Having said all that, I believe I have managed to identify your pests. They are the immature stages of the Large Milkweed Bug Oncopeltus fasciatus : http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/199
