Default Ladybug larvae?

Guys are these ladybug larvae or something bad? It's on my avocado next to a dwarf Cavendish. I was battling aphids and spider mites so I'm hoping it is ladybugs.

Hard to see the detail but they look like ladybugs to me. Just observe...if they are ladybugs you'll see them eat aphids one after another. Looks like evidence of eaten aphids on that leaf.

Are they black with red/orange/yellow splotches and covered in spikes?

Just Google "ladybug nymph" and look at the images, there are plenty of them available for you to use for comparison.

Lady bug nymphs look like alien creatures.
Of the ones I have seen their bodies tend to end with black color, the one at the top of your photo looks like it ends with orange.
The large one at the bottom of your photo has a archy look to it's body.
I am going to say some type of stink bug, not lady bug.
