I was looking at the pre-flowers on some plants today and noticed these little critters on the stems, not leaves. They are tiny - like less than 1mm, with a longish oval shaped body. The colour was kinda between yellow and orange. There's only a few but I would like to know what they are so that I can see if I need to take action. I tried to get a pic but the blighters are so small my phone cam can't see 'em, even through a 10x loupe.

I am in the UK and we're just getting into autumn now. I've included a little drawing just to show the kind of shape and colour they are.
