Tiny Orange Bugs on Ground Cherry

Trying to identify little orange bugs found in the garden all over the Groundcherry plants.

I don’t know what these little bugs are but they are all over the Walter’s Groundcherry plants. They are tiny and orange with black legs. I’m pretty sure they are not aphids. I’m thinking they are young / juvenile somethings.

A while ago I found a couple of soldier beetles on these same ground-cherries. So are the orange beetles just young soldier beetles? I can’t find any pictures that look like the orange bugs.
