A small lady beetle (no more than 5 mm, if memory serves me correctly); very dark in appearance with large, blotchy, connected dark spots on a subtle, streaky/spotted, reddish-orange background; a black protonum with curving white edge and a white band between the eyes. I apologize for the poor quality of the photos--it was a dark day in November and I'm not in the habit of using my flash--but hope that the general shapes and colors of this particular beetle are sufficiently clear for identification purposes.

The darkness in this photo has been reduced to better show the pattern of the spots.
