No 100% sure but they look like a larva of some kind of ladybug. Here is for example a larva photo of Epilachma admirabilis (sorry, I couldn't find an english name, they have 10 black spots and are quite big, for a ladybugs.) The page is in Japanese, but if you navigate down, you will sea a picture of a larva that looks really alike to those on your photo. http://www.insects.jp/kon-tentoutohosi.htm
