Harmonia axyridis
Beetle larva -- I think it's a lady bug, and I think it's Harmonia axyridis, but the pictures aren't enough for 100% verification.
In a shrub along walkway in urban park.

I'm thinking that this is right. (I wish I could remember, or had taken a better dorsal shot.)
Okay. Remember, a good dorsal gives you the best chance of an ID. These are the 4 dots I was talking about: http://bugguide.net/node/view/340636
Sadly, the rest of the images are all from the same angles, just less focus.
That helps a bit. Were there four orange dots in the middle of its body?
I've added a fourth picture, but the dof is really narrow. I hope it helps!
Do you have a shot of the whole body? Sure looks like Harmonia to me to, but I'd need a full body to confirm.
COOL¡¡¡
