seven-spotted lady beetle
Unfortunately it's not native -- it's Coccinella septempunctata.

non-native
Thanks for the expertise Joyce . Even though the 7 spotted Ladybug is not a native I enjoyed finding it / maybe it will bring good luck . I am sure I will find a native Ladybug sometime though I may not know it at the time . Thanks , Beth
