Hoooooorraayy!!!!!
I'm soooo pleased they are ladybird larvae!!!
But not so pleased they could be Harmonia axyridis (Harlequins?).
As yet I don't think there have been any sightings of them in Cumbria Uk and I certainly don't want to be the first to find any!
The only ladybird I have seen in my yard this year was a 10 spot one on the 2nd May. Any chance my new arrivals could be related to that one?

Unfortunately that was the best photo I could get as they were so tiny and it was really sunny today and I couldn't get close enough to see them properly . (excuses, excuses!!
). When I went to check the colour later they had all dispersed and although I could still see some of them I couldn't distinguish the colour, they just looked black.
I'll have another look for them tomorrow, hopefully I'll find them and get a better photo.
Anyway, Thanks for the replies.
I am really pleased to have them right outside my back door, it's certainly made my day.......not so sure about the aphids though!
