Interesting, yes I agree that they’re insects. Probably aphids.
Probably the Genus Uroleucon of aphids. It appears that narrowing down the to species level is tedius, probably involving a microscope. There are hundreds of species of aphids that live on plant matter. Ladybugs are one of their major predators.
