leaf beetles
Order coleoptera, family Chrysomelidae. If they were green, I'd call them Dogbane Beetles, but the light doesn't appear to show their color very well in this photo.

Beetle color
They were definitely brown shiny beetles as opposed to green. Sort of like the brown of a Japanese beetle only darker. Thanks alot for the ID.
