Seven-spotted Lady Beetle

Coccinella septempunctata

Description:

Beautiful ladybug found on outside window screen. Six black spots total. Three on each wing. Dark orange- red in color.

Notes:

Lots of ladybugs in my yard and my vegetable garden. Too many to photograph or count. Have been here each year beginning in Spring for at least 3 years.

According to the photo you posted, that's not six spots. It's seven, since I see one at the top. Pretty sure that's a seven-spotted ladybug if so.
