Are these some sort of aphids? I found them on the underside of Swida amomum. What can you tell me about the various stages in these images, please?

white tufted insect is scymnine lady beetle larva
The insect at the center is the larva of a lady beetle in subfamily Scymninae, probably tribe Scymnini.

 
Thanks,
Abigail, I very much appreciate that info. I know that we are supposed to limit our submissions to one individual, but I wasn't sure what the relationships were in the images I sent. I still need to know what kind of aphids these are.
