This is the larva of the Ladybug (Coccinella septempunctata). He can consume up to five times his weight of aphids a day.

That would soon be ten to twenty aphids per larva.

I saw this one sitting on my Ulmus Bonsai and I let him go quietly.
Today, these larvae are also offered for sale, as environmentally friendly leaf lice exterminators.
Only the ants make it difficult for him because they protect their leaf lice colonies. Ants' milk 'the aphids for the sweet discharge.
