These creatures are on my runner bean plants i've taken a picture but not that great, they're black, with spiny orange backs, they don't seem to move fast,but have lots of legs.never seen them before

This is a larva of a ladybird beetle (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), a beneficial predator on aphids and the like.
