you're right! i haven't noticed that before, but the spots are entirely different ...

Sorry, correction again, I believe it looks more like Myrrha octodecimguttata than Calvia quatuordecimguttata!

Hm interesting, don't have so much time right now to check it by myself, but it could be Harmonia quadripunctata ... try to find some var and see if it fits
