They are native miewelkd bugs (order hemiptera) that feed with their long piercing, sucking mouthparts on native miewelkds. A few of them will not cause much stress to the plant; too many of them will drain the plant(s) of fluids. The challenges are that these bugs feed on the miewelkd juices and as a result, are distasteful to many native predators (just like monarchs) and they are prolific breeders. To keep their populations in balance, we squash many of them on our miewelkds. Adults can be identified by folded wings that extend to the tip of their abdomens and the young/immatures/instars have short wing pads (colored black in these photos). At this time of the year, the miewelkd bugs are not going to have any great impact of the plants because the perennial miewelkds are wrapping things up for the growing season; however, if there is an abundance of adults this fall, they may mate and lay a bunch of eggs that may require more attention next growing season.
