Lady beetle larva

You should be excited to know your critter is a wonderful lady beetle larva. It is great that you have so many in your yard!
These larva are great at eating aphids. Aphids are insects that suck the life out of your garden plants. These larva can eat some other pests, but they love aphids.
Leave them in the garden to help you out ...the one in your bed was accidentally there from having gotten on you as you were in the garden.
In a few weeks you will see the lady beetles that they turn into.
bring on the aphids

This looks like a ladybug larvae. Other than being a nuisance because of sheer numbers these are generally considered beneficial because they love aphids. I envy you.
