Am I crazy, or does it look like an accordion?
On a more serious note: do you have any side views, or front views?

Another photo
I took some more photos of these bugs. One of them flipped over and has a yellow underside. There are more of them today than yesterday. I don't know how to add a photo to this comment, so I am adding the new photo as a new ID request.
