Those are lovebugs.

They're a type of fly. They come out in April/May and again (smaller) in September. They don't bite, although they're a bit acidic and will eat the paint if you don't clean the splats off, but that takes quite a bit of splat over time. Sadly, like other insects, the numbers are not what they were 40 years ago.
