I have these all over my front yard and am wondering what they were. So I typed in black and orage bug, it took me to this website where I fould it's picture. Let me tell you these bugs DO BITE and it hurts. I have no idea what they are but it doesn't look like a ladybug to me! Does anyone know for sure what it is? Or is it just a guess that it is a Lady Bug Larve?
lady-bug??? by: Slightly concerned gardener
I hope that the previous contributor who said that these bugs are good to have in the garden is right 'cos I have seen loads this spring/summer all over my plants. I've never seen them before and am concerned that they will suck the sap from the plants as opposed to eating the bugs which do! Any ideas where they have come from and do they turn into anything else?

I have these black and orange/red spiky bugs all over my plants outside my house. there are about 100 of em crawlin everywhere. From what I can see, all they do is eat my plants. They dont bite from what I can tell but Im not going to be a guinea pig for them either. Im in Wesley Chapel Fl.

Lady bug larva by: Moni
Looks like you are in luck. From the photo it looks like a lady bug(beetle) larva. He loves to eat the pests in our garden and he can eat more than the adults. So put him back out in the garden and let him get back to work for you!
Happy gardening.
