I would be happy to look at your other spottings if you would like. :)

I'm sorry, this is the only pic I took of this beetle, I'll definetly accept your suggestion, since I don't know much about beetles myself. I love your input, would you take a look at my gallery to see if you have any suggestions? ( specially for the bees?)

Hi beedav, nice find! Coccinella septempunctata (Seven-spotted Lady Beetle) only has seven spots. Your beetle definately has more from what I can see. Did you happen to get any other views of this pretty little beetle (especially of the head and/or the entire back)? I am fairly sure this is a Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle. They come in an amazing array of color patterns. Here is a plate showing 16 different forms: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Harmonia_axyridis01.jpgCoccinella septempunctata
