Thank you for the ID! I was a bit too busy to dig around myself.
Hello!
This looks like an aphid to me, but I could not narrow it down any more than that. You may have luck on this website:

Thank you!
The tree is driving me a bit crazy. I will have to get more photographs of it. It could be cottonwood, aspen, poplar, or who knows what else.
Yes, they are quite cute.
Thank you for the link! I will definitely look into it.
Jopy, I think I found the correct species...I hope!
Hello!
This is a Multi-colored Asian ladybeetle larva. They eat many, many aphids. Great find!
:^)
Thank you!
I tried to narrow it down to the species, but it is tricky. I will keep digging!
Thank you, Forest Dragon! I have quite a few images of the adult praying mantises I found in my garden last summer. Perhaps we can be a bit more certain of this little guy's ID once I identify the adults.
It does look a bit like some of the images for thistles that I came across. I suppose I will wait to see if it blooms.
