Ewww. What bug is this?

I always let the milkweed grow in my flower beds, knowing the plant is essential in the life cycle of the Monarch butterfly.

I guess, it is also essential in the life cycle of these guys, which I noticed swarming all over all the milkweed today:

Red bugs on milkweed

I’ve never seen these before… Any ideas as to what they are?

I also noticed the milkweed that wasn’t covered in red bugs was covered with yellow – eggs?

I assume yellow eggs hatch out red bugs….
