That's it, nonetheless
But perhaps a different species than the other one's you're seeing. The commonly encountered ones are Harmonia axyridis, an introduced species which has been displacing many of our native species.

Not Harmonia
A lady beetle larva for sure, but it is not Harmonia axyridis. Not sure which genus this one would be.
