I have seen more "real" lady bugs this year (the most since I was a child.) We usually see tons of the invasive Asian version. I hope that is a good sign!

No problem. I would say Harmonia axyridis, Harlequin Ladybug, for the ID, but you cannot be exact with pupae. Thanks for posting!

Amazing shot! This is a ladybug pupa, but I cannot tell which ladybug.
