Looking for verification on this. I believe it's a multi-colored Asian lady beetle nymph.

edit: PROBABLY Spotted Lady Beetle, Coleomegilla maculata
EDIT: I may not be quite as familiar as all that, I'm having second thoughts. The orange semicircle on the prothorax is there, all right, but the details of the tubercles seem a bit off. Take the below with a grain of salt!

Just like the adult you photographed the same day. I raised a lot of larvae of this species over the summer, the pattern's distinctive now that I'm so familiar with it. The first section of the thorax is hard to see at this angle, but it shows one of the key ID features that I look for, a small orange semicircle at the front edge of the dark section.

No.
Lady beetle larva, yes, but not Harmonia axyridis. Might be C-7 (Coccinella septempunctata)?
