This might be in genus Neda. It has some similarities to one of the variations of Neda norrisi, but that's not an ID. I'll continue to research it. It's a beautiful beetle!

Yes, Harmonia axyridis (Multicolored Asian LB). The double-branched spines are diagnostic for the species in North America.
Also known as the Common Australian Ladybird.
Not Anatis ocellata: that species doesn't occur in Indonesia.
This is Cycloneda polita. C. sanguinea has a small white dot between the curved white markings on the pronotum. It also doesn't occur as far north as Oregon.
It's actually a female. The pronotum (black area behind the head) has a black margin at the center; males have a complete white margin around the pronotum.
Not a lady beetle; the tarsal claws are wrong for the Coccinellidae family.
B. ursina is, as the common name suggests, orange-spotted. B. decempustulata has paler spots that are either yellow or light brown.
Also, 10mm is quite large for a lady beetle. Brachiacantha spp. are under 4mm long.
This is in genus Chilocorus. It is probably C. cacti (Cactus Lady Beetle) but might also be C. stigma (Twice-stabbed Lady Beetle.) The two species are only distinguishable by the underside; the underside of C. cacti's abdomen is entirely red, while that of C. stigma is half-red and half-black.
