There were quite a few of these things wandering up and down the trunk of a Sycamore Tree in my garden.
Some were a kinda orange in colour, and lots of yellowish ones like this one. Is is a young Barkfly or something else?

It's an aphid - might be able to suggest a species sometime, but not tonight!
