Convergent Lady Beetle
Looks to be a good match with image at UC IPM.

 
Nice find, Ted.
They aren't always in the wild :-)

Let us wait for an expert opinion.

How did you identify this one to species?
It would be nice to have a reference for the guide. Is there a particular consistent pattern on these larvae?

 
I wonder about this, too.
Another post here, with a confusing array of images, shows larvae with a different pattern. Based on what I saw today - several Convergent ladybirds near larvae - my guess is that the Convergent larvae have four spots on the body, as opposed to stripes. But I'm unsure.
