Halyzia sedecimguttata
About 10 to 12 mm in length, with orange elytra with large white spots. Borders of elytras white or transparent.
Lives in woodland and feeds mainly on mildew and aphids - I guess it ended up on our balcony by error... we live close by a wooded areas, and first instance is quite well wooded town park (mixed alpine vegetation).
I just dug it out from my "unidentified archives" or "bottom of the drawer" folder... This fella visited us briefly couple of years ago, and I never saw his likes again...
