Anyone know what these are.. they are on one leaf? They looks like ants but none I've ever seen before..

Not a real clear picture. Google search "leaf footed stink bug nymphs" and see if they look like that, they tend to cluster together like that.

I have them here too on other plants but not as congregated as yours. Just one here and there.
