For those that don't know what lady bug larva look like, here's a Harmonia axyridis larva (also know as the Asian Lady Beetle). As you can see they eat aphids, so if you don't like aphids, let these guys eat them.

I think that this is a Larinus turbinatus, which is one of the 'true weevils'. Members of the genus can useful to humans b/c they eat the flower buds of noxious weeds.
