Harmonia axyridis
A useful informal clue for distinguishing this species from most other Coccinellidae is that the pronotum of most color forms have white markings that typically define an "M"-shaped black area, as seen on a beetle resting head-upwards (or "W"-shaped if it is head-down). Usually they also have brown or reddish legs.

Nice fella!
¡Gracias para la explicación, Augusto! Antes del Proyecto Noah, ¡no me realizaba que hay tantos diferentes tipos!
Ok, Maria. No quería decir que fuera la de mi comentario, sino, que hay otras variedades de "ladybugs" o "mariquitas" como las llamamos en Colombia.
Thanks for your comment, Augusto. I still think it looks like the Asian ladybeetle. Perhaps other arthropod specialists can weigh in.
