I'm pretty sure it's a ladybird larva.

So it is!
Larvae of Ladybird
I should have thought of that as there were a lot of ladybirds nearby (six of them loving a piece of blue rope). But the larvae seemed so much bigger than the adult I would never have guessed.
Thanks for that, szuumm.

I recently had a small infestation of them in my room. I got a bit freaked out by them because I had no idea what they were and was alarmed that there were quite a few of them popping up all over my room, so I squashed them all.

Now I feel stupid and remorseful!
