They aren't red bugs on a birdsnest. And red bugs are red, not black. I've seen these before, I did a FW dip and they went away, IIRC. Never noticed anything bad from them though...and don't recall what they were on, maybe a cap?

As I mentioned, I never saw anything bad from them, and I recall finding some posts on RC about them, but that was years ago. I figure if I don't remember, they weren't a problem. Red bugs I remember very well!
