    Just got home from a ride through lots of long grass, woodland and meadows etc to find this little guy clung to my side.

    He’s hairy, black and yellow, six legs, no visible mouthparts and not v aggressive, but I’ve never seen anything like it before. It’s probably about 6mm long btw.

    Anyone know what it may be? Cheers!

    Beetle lava of some sort looks like one of the lady birds.

    Ladybird larva, sudden death to aphids. Put him onto a rose bush or something.
    This should help:
