Transverse Ladybird

Description:

(From Wikipedia): Coccinella transversalis, commonly known as the transverse ladybird or transverse lady beetle is a species of ladybird beetle found from India across southern and southeastern Asia to Malesia and Australia.
Measuring 3.8 to 6.7 millimetres (0.15 to 0.26 in) long and 3.3 to 5.45 millimetres (0.13 to 0.215 in) wide, the transverse ladybird shows little variation across its wide range. It has a black head with predominantly bright red or orange elytra boldly marked with a black band down the midline and two lateral three-lobed markings.

Habitat:

Found from India, across Southern and Southeast Asia, and even into Australasia and Australia. Generally found on plants that attract aphids and other insect prey

Notes:

This was hanging on to the upper stem of some kind if weed or grass in the wild field across from our school building. About 5mm-7mm across (rough estimate; I had no ruler and no good pictures to give it some kind of reference), orange and black as shown, small head. The black v-shaped markings make this pretty easy to identify.
