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

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.

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!
