Wasn't sure if this was a baby ladybug larvae or what so I thought I would post a few picks to see if anyone recognizes if this is friend or foe.

Yes! Lady bug larvae, they are much better than adults in taking care of aphids! They can eat 2-4 times as many aphids as those adults, hungry kids Smiley

Thank you everyone for confirming what I thought that was.  I love ladybugs but when you have a lot of them it is a sign that aphids are out and about.  Sure glad to get the extra help in eliminating them until next spring.
