Does anybody know if this is friend or foe

i found this guy on my rosemary in the poly tunnel

   
   

Is it a Ladybird Larvae? https://www.thoughtco.com/the-life-cycle...gs-1968141

Agree with Veggie, definitely and friend

You're my friend too, Greenleaves.

Thanks Veggie & GL that’s great news, would that be a reason why I am seeing what looks like spittle on the leaves of parsley and rosemary?

That sounds like cuckoo spit, maybe its not a ladybird larva but a spittlebug?

Perhaps we need a friend or foe board?

Maybe we do!

The 2 possibilities for the cuckoo spit do t seem to harm the plants.

I’ve just been out to the tunnel to check against some of what the RHS site said and right enough some of the leaf tips of the rosemary have gone black, I will need to investigate further. I also noticed earlier what seemed like a bee flying around now I’m not convinced as it was landing on leaves rather than the flowers of say the strawberries, me thinks it might be laying eggs on laves. I will try get a photo tomorrow

Not a ladybird, I'm sure. Looks like some kind of weevil.
