Not H*armonia a*xyridis, but that's all I know
My gut feeling is Coleomegilla maculata, which I reared many times this summer, but that's not an ID.

At least it's not the ubiquitous M*ulticolored A*sian Lady Beetle - those larvae have branched "spines" that are visible at the rear of the pupa after the final molt.

Pupa
Looks like the pupa of a lady beetle, family Coccinellidae.
