Only thing I would think would be spider mites or Aphids maybe
It might be aphids ive dealt with spidermites before ive only seen them leave light colored spots never black ,
Usually find some webs depending on the servity , and im not seeing any at the moment .. it has to be aphids any recommendations on how to take care of it? Im in 3 week of flower

Not saying one is better than the other. Just saying a jumping spider is cooler than some ladybug. You ironically posted about lady bugs the same time i did.

I honestly didnt know what the larvae looked like till now
Those jumping spiders are cool, never even heard of them. We learned what the the lady bug larvae looked like when we had dozens of them on an outdoor landscape plant. We thought the plant was going to be destroyed by some nasty pest but then googled it and realized those little guys were going to help our plants.

Are they more productive as larvae before they 'evolve' ? or are the traditional lady bugs better eaters?

I've read that the larvae are ravenous but I'm not really sure if they eat more than the adults. Fortunately, I only have experience with lady bugs eating pests on outdoor landscape plants, I don't even want to know how well they work on indoor cannabis pests :)
