Maybe they're just big ants on steroids.

Where are you?
I think they may be termites, but we don't have red ones here, either
white, brown or shiny black.
Can you post a higher resolution, closeup of one?

nasty lookin critters


There seem to be aphids on the plant as well as the ants. Some species
of ant farm aphids, move them onto your plants to feed and milk them for
the sugary sap they excrete. That makes otherwise harmless ants a real
nuisance to gardeners.
