I do have some other shots but i think they are all from the same direction
Isabella, this looks like a Cotton Stainer/Red Bug/Fire bug (Family Pyrrhocoridae) to have a point to start a search. My suggestion is to get as many shots as possible which I know is very difficult. (Front, side, top) This will help others to help ID the critters you spot.
