Maybe they are a ladybug larvae like this Scymnus ----> http://www.galerie-insecte.org/galerie/ref-10106.htm ?
It seems a good thing!

what you have there are eggs. it could very well be a type of ladybug. the larvae look different. i vote you leave them.

It's definitely not a ladybug larvae, they are black and have yellow/orange spots. I'd tend to agree with fineexampl. Looks like eggs to me, too (unless they walk! ) and I agree that I'd leave them were they are. 99.9% of all insects are no nasties and won't harmy your plants and a lot of them (especially larvae) eat aphids and the likes!

i did a few searches this morning and it's positively eggs. i just couldn't pin down a specific species. all my searches came back with some kind of beetle or ladybird/bug variety.

the larvae areas chiliac described. kinda ugly and black.

I don't think they are ugly at all, but that's a matter of taste I guess.

They're some form of beetle eggs. If you leave them be, just keep an eye on them. They could just as easily be a harmful beetle as a helpful one. I had beetles eating my tomatilloes that laid eggs that looked much like that.

ehm, they are not eggs! They move! I think they are a ladybugs larvae like in the link I already posted.

They are Lady bug larvae by the look of things..also there is a moth caterpillar very similar,can not remember which one

Weird. They don't look like any ladybug larvae I've seen. But I'm in the USA, so they certainly could be different.
