This year there are really an unusually large number of these red beetles, which are called "soldiers". The scientific name is Pyrrhocoris apterus, also called "red bug", "kozak".
I don't remember that much in previous years. In our area, they are now everywhere, climbing into the house.
In the photo, a whole bunch of beetles stuck around the last small bunches of grapes in the yard, in another photo - beetles on flowers.
