I noticed a good number of these insects in my bushes today, at first I
thought they were ladybugs and they may be but they don't quite match the
various types of ladybugs I've been able to find on the web.

If anyone could help identify them I'd appreciate it. Most of the info I
came across on ladybugs is similar to this:
