Hi,
Does anyone know what these bugs are and how to get rid of them. They are crawling in and over my garden waste bin.
Thanks in anticipation.

    Don't get rid of them whatever you do - they're ladybird larvae  :)

    Hungry and looking for aphids!  I'd transfer them onto your rose bushes if I were you

    Why want to get rid of bugs when you don't know what they are?

    Yes - but at least @Jenny128 had the sense to post photos and ask, unlike many who just reach for a chemical spray.
