Little red bugs (not aphids) need ID

The other day I was removing some may night salvias from around some russian sage (the salvias were volunteers from the seeds of the original plants I moved from this location to another and were getting a little selfish with the space). I noticed these little bugs were all around the russian sage and salvias, mostly on the ground but a few up in the leaves.
I thought these might be the little guys that are chewing up my rhubarb leaves (and my guara that is trying so hard to come back after this winter's deep freeze) but not a single nibble has been taken on the salvia or russian sage that I noticed.
Normally it wouldn't bother me but after aphids on my heliopsis last year and now the chomping on other plants... I'm curious.

Any insight is always appreciated!
