Does any one know what kind of bug this is? If it is not a beneficial bug, how should I get rid of them? [url]http://mysite.verizon.net/restkrrs/organicgardening/
Thanks.

Do you mean the orange ant on the opening page of that website? That's all I could access w/link you posted.

Just looks like an ordinary ant to me. Probably won't hurt.

Look again, those are not ants. I believe, but am not sure, they are aphid nymphs. Aphids can be all sorts of colors. Either that or they are boxelder nymphs. Spray them off or use some organic control.
