Yep - too big and longish... I should know these .... it'll come.. pity it's not too clear... sawfly larvae maybe?

They are not lady bug larva, as a quick google search confirms. Any other guesses are welcome. Thanks!.
TonyMarostica
They were each approximately 1/2 inch long. Glad to hear they're a beneficial hatching :) Thank you!
