Hippodamia caseyi
This one and your other unidentified Hippodamia appear to be H. caseyi. Determining characteristics include location, the black pronotal macula extending to the lateral edge, and elongate scutellar spot (ref. (1)).

H. caseyi is reported from both sides of the continental divide from southern Canada to northern Utah.

I couldn't find any images on the web, so yours may be the first. Nice find! :)

Is a close match to from MT, also unidentified.

Modern art
It's not messy. It's an abstract.

As my fused glass instructor put it:
"There are no errors in art, merely design changes."

Works for me...
