These are ladybug larva. Each ladybug larva eats about 5000 aphids in its lifetime. I had hundreds of these on my tulip poplar tree watching them eat aphids. I watched the whole metamorphosis from ladybugs to eggs to the strange looking larva that used to scare me as a child. Now I love them.

You can also try keeping your eye out for lacewing larva. Some people think they look like little alligators. Creepy looking but great for eating aphids.
