Hippodamia convergens
Oval body, red-orange elytra with up to thirteen small black spots, and white converging markings on the pronotum, from which they get their name.
Wide ranging habitat, basically, wherever aphids are found, as they comprise the bulk of their diet. Huge colonies may be seen in forests in winter.
These two were converging for many hours.

Yeah they do. :)
Looks like they're snuggling.
