Harmonia axyridis
These mating ladybugs are the same species! The male is a melanic variety with a red, single spot on each elytra. This variety is less common in the US. The female is the more typical variety seen here.
In a garden. Anise?

Ha! I thought it was an Ashy Gray :) Thanks, beaker98.
Wow! When I saw the male, I thought is was from the Chilocorus genus mating with something else! Very cool!
