Fun fact: Most of the "lady bugs" we see in the US are of this species. It comes in many color variants, including shades of red, orange, and yellow, as well as an inverted variant with red/orange/yellow dots on a black background. Some even have square or crescent-shaped spots. Check out the link below for more color variants and information. http://bugguide.net/node/view/397
