can any one identify these bugs?

Recently found three different clusters of small spider-like orange to reddish critters on young pecan trees. They appear to have hatched recently, late April to early May in North Carolina. This is the best photo I could manage before they scattered. Does anyone have an idea of what they might be? Good or bad bugs? They certainly are quite unusual, have not seen these before. Photo is here:

I am ashamed that I did not realize that they were beneficial.

Am I the only one who's having trouble with the link to the bug photos?
