Thank you Muckpuk for the ID and the link. Now we know what this is. Thank you Rob Thacker and Melissa Ferguson for your comments.
Yes looks like a Ladybird Puppa. Check out these pictures. Was it like this? http://galleryhip.com/ladybug-pupa.html
Such an awesome spotting! When I have trouble with identification I upload to http://bugguide.net/node/view/15740 and usually have an answer within a day or two.
Nice find Luis, hope you can get an ID.
