They’re from code enforcement. They’ve come to inspect your wiring.

Until someone comes in with the correct answer, I’d blast them off with your hose.

I think they may be juniper scale insects. Google them and see if they look similar. I have a landscape juniper infested with themThey don’t seem to harm it but I am keeping by bonsai well away. At some point I will probably have to think about dealing with them, especially as I am going to use the big tree for airlayers.

Aphids. See the ant milking them? Blast them off with a hose like @BillsBayou says.
