Neat shot! Good news & bad news - those are adult ladybird beetles, but what you see their ain't their babies - those are their prey! Those are aphids (with a couple of ants thrown in). Immature ladybugs don't look like the adults at all - except that they are neatly colored & are also predators... Here is a link to a ladybug larva with some different aphids - http://www.celticbug.com/Legends/Larvae.jpg

Good eye to spot all those aphids though! And some neat shots too! Hopefully those two adult ladybugs will create more aphid eaters!
