Harmonia axyridis
(very) freshly moulted to 3rd instar. Beware that this is only ID-able thanks to good quality photo showing the 2-proned lateral brushes on the abdomen. As for color distribution this would still be hard to separate from Harmonia quadripunctata, but those have 3-proned brushes laterally on the abdomen.

only double-branched one in North America :)
H. axyridis is the only larva in North America with double-branched spines like this. We've also got Harmonia dimidiata in Florida, but its spines aren't branched this way. Other than those two, no other Harmonia spp. are established in North Am.; H. conformis is occasionally reported on the East Coast, but I haven't heard of it being found any time recently.

Lady Beetle Larva
Someone else may be able to give you the species.
