I have now clue what these are but they look like some kind of larve. We trimed hedges today (Saturday is outside care day) and I found these ewwwwwey things on my bushes!!

woot woot!!! hehe i did it!!!!

ok, now can anyone tell me what these little buggies are living in my bushes?? I really dont like them :p

Yuck! From the photos they almost look like maggots (but probably aren't). Sorry I can't help you with identifying them but good luck!

Sorry I cannot see them well enough to help; however, if you look real close to them do they look like the white bug in this picture?



If they do then they are ladybug larvae. They are important predators and should not be destroyed.

Sometimes they are confused with several types of mealybug. These mealybugs shown below are the bad guys and should be destroyed.
