Yesterday i found these guys all over my perennial coreopsis plants, also there is some chewed up foliage as well. Im wondering if these are ladybug larva that perhaps showed up to make a meal out of whatever was chewing on the leaves, or perhaps these things are the culprits themselves. If they are ladybug larva, i have never seen them solid black before, i have always been used to black with orange coloring on their backs.
