Thanks martinl. The link seems different. I think Keithp2012 is right. It's a young of a yellow or some other ladybug who is waiting for the colors to mature.

Albino?

hi Leah. I am in that mission and had added this spotting there too. But withdrew it because it was suggested that it is not one.

You should join the ladybug mission and post it there...might find some answers.

I have no idea on molting of ladybugs. Please tell me when you find what it is.

Could this be a freshly molted ladybug who hasn't gotten it's true color yet? I'm looking for possible beetle species right now.

Hi martinl. I don't think it's a tortoise...doesn't look like the one in the picture you suggested. Ashish, albino bug looks a pale and lacks proper dots. Your efforts are appreciated. Please keep working.
P.S. this one runs very fast.

I feel its kind of Albino Lady bug... a beetle.
Reference is from America.

While this is not a match because the dots are not on the elytra, but on the pronotum, I still believe that your beetle is a tortoise beetle and not a ladybird beetle
