Coccinella transversoguttata
Red elytrea and 4 dark dots and one elongated band of black spots behind pronotum. The dots are larger than for Coccinella septempunctata, and elliptic (not round), the central fore dot is diamond-shaped, and the 2 adjacent ones are merging with it.
Alpine tundra of Yellowstone National Park.
Yeeah! Thanks a lot ForestDragon!
I was really wondering what kind of species it was, and you nailed it!
Very cool! I have never seen one of these before in person or pictures until now. Nifty!
