I have been seening these black insects with orange spikes for some time now and could not figure out what they were, and I seemed to have a lot of them! A search online revealed that they are young ladybugs! All that mating earlier in the year resulted in a bumper crop of new ladybugs. The one shown here has stuck itself to the leaf and is about to transform into a shiny red bug.
Another interesting fellow is this wasp like insect which I had heard numerous times but never clued in to where the scrape, scrape, sound was coming from. It was using its mandibles to scrape small curls of wood off the planter stands. I'm still not sure what this one was.
