I thought at first these were ladybug nymphs but Google's photos are not the same. Somebody give me a hand on this one.
Definitely not aphids.

First off, these are spectacular pictures.
The insects look to be tree hopper nymphs, which are related to aphids and like them they produce a sugary substance that earns them protection by ants. Something like this, but a different species: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1874486/bgimage
Really well done!
