Thank you Agnes! :)
I think this is the same as in one of the pics here: http://www.meloidae.com/en/albums/coelop..., a form of Coelophora inaequalis (Variable Ladybird).
I had doubts upon reading your comment @keithp2012. Made thorough research on Asian Lady Beetle and found out that though they have the plain orange color like my spotting, they have a whitish head with dark "W" or "M" marking. I changed the name of my spotting to its general name of "Ladybird Beetle" until I have found the right ID. Thanks so much for your comment.
This is a strange color even for this species, are you sure it's an Asian Ladybeetle?
Fascinating!
