Harmonia axyridis - first instar is black and < 2mm
This is a first-instar multicolored Asian lady beetle (fresh out of the egg, it hasn't molted yet). The double-branched abdominal tubercles are diagnostic for the species at all larval instars, within 24 hours of egg hatch.

Larvae for twenty-spotted lady beetle, for instance, are around 2-3mm.
