if you see no damage.. there is nothing to do about them ...

but knowledge is power.. so dont get me wrong on getting an ID ...

it appears to be a pollinator ... but how many of us grow roses for rose hips ...

besides... you cant spray a bloom.. or it is immediately ruined .. and done with ... so what can you do about it???

sorry i cant ID it...

Any chance of a better photo? It has more of a bug feel than beetle feel but the details aren't clear enough.

That looks like something I had several years ago. They were great for feeding my baby praying mantis, but never came back after that year. Didn't notice any damage from them (and there were LOTS of them!)

It's a lady beetle. But not a larva. Instead it's a pupa, the next step on the way to becoming a lady beetle. It goes like this: egg; larva; pupa; adult. With time, the pupal case will split down the back and an adult lady beetle will step out. Congrats. You have successful biological control going on at your place!

Thank you! I did some Google research on wooly aphids and I think you might be right. I am glad I caught the problem early before they did too much damage. I think I'll try spraying the plants with a mixture of castle soap and water. I really appreciate the help!
