Soldier beetles; probably “Chauliognathus pensylvanicus.” From my National Wildlife Federation field guide: “Active during late summer and fall, they feed on pollen and are commonly seen on flowers, especially goldenrods” (p. 189).

Confirmed at BugGuide as “Chauliognathus pensylvanicus” or “Goldenrod Soldier Beetle”; http://bugguide.net/node/view/996476
