Came to the light at night. Very tiny. I assume that it is Psyllobora vigintimaculata (Twenty-Spotted Lady Beetle)

They're diurnal here
Interesting. Don't they ever sleep? Our mint plant has loads of these or another Psyllobora in the daytime. Lately I've seen mating pairs on the mint and tiny gray larvae--different sizes, but all small--that are probably that genus.
