Yes, that's it. The bristly stuff is also visible at the bottom of the pupa, making these probably the easiest-to-ID immatures in ladybirds.

I was thinking Asian because it's a bush I usually find adults. Thanks, Ron

My pleasure
Once, we had a photo of a larvae and two different species of adults. There was a bit of a go-round on that before the determination that one really couldn't tell. OTHO, I've seen cases where a solo immature and an adjacent solo adult were accepted as the same. Go figure.
