Like the header says what are these bugs? I've got a feeling they might be lacewing larvaes or ladyirds larvae but I'm not sure

looks like ladybird lavae to me - keep 'em they're good guys :happy:

Cool!

That's good as we've spotted about 5 or 6 and the same amount of ladybirds just on our quarter plot! They are going to have a feast as we are invaded by aphids.

Should I get a ladybird house to encourage them to stay? What do you think?

Definately ladybird lavae.

No need for a house until winter.

A little update on the larvae. Just been to the plot & noticed a change in the larvae.
See below

They go through stages before they get to "adult" ladybird. There is no need to worry as in a few days they will awaken and be famished!

I'm not to worried, just thought I put a photo update for the benefit of newbie gardeners like me to expand their knowledge but thanks anyway
