Default little red bugs

can anyone tell me what these little red bugs are that are on my heliopsis
plants, they are tiny but can be seen real easy ,and if you pick them they
disintigrate and you are left with red all over your fingers! are they
harmful to the plant and if so what to use to get rid of them. I have
sprayed them with plant insecticide but they keep coming back.



maybe cochineal bugs though they are usually associated with cactus.
