Insect Identification/Infestation

Hi All,
I've been hit with a new insect infestation recently and seem to have stumped my crew over in the Hot Pepper forum. These peppers are planted outside garden-style, with a few other plants, but these insects (and others) only seem to be attracted to this one. I found these guys in other parts of the plant, but in the pics below is where it was most severe. There were many ants to be found around this infestation, they were really enjoying it.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
