They are leaf footed bugs, a relative of the stink bug, per google. The orange ones are nymphs that mature to adults in 30 days. They are destructive to food crops.

Use gloves (to avoid stinky scents) to pick them off and drop in soapy water is the recommended treatment. Organic pesticides are not that effective compared to soapy water.
