I went out to the garden this afternoon after having not been out there in a few days. I checked out my Serrano plant, Banana peppers, even my Green Pepper Plants and noticed there were a bunch of these insects grouped together on all of these plants.
I tried a google search and searched on here too. I am lead to believe that these might be the brown ladybug? When you shake the plant gently or try to schoo the insects they fly away and appear to fly like a ladybug might. I see no harm to my plants or peppers. Never seen but an occasional lady bug around here this summer but they were more red and spotted not solid brown like these are. Just wondering what these are and if they are friend (ladybugs) or foe I have seen so many new bugs in the garden here I am learning everytime it seems. I appreciate the help not panicked here just curious if anyone has seen these before? Appreciate the feedback and another opportunity to learn!!

They sure don't sound like friendly critters from reading about them either. I even found an article in the local paper too.
