Despite the common name, they sometimes aren't very spotted at all. Based on range and appearance, I don't know what other species it is likely to be than C.sexguttata Cheers, Dave

I thought it was way cool. Usually I only see two or three of these beetles in this area. On this day there seemed to be dozens. Couldn't believe my luck.
