Thanks, V and Abby.
The LLP (Lost Ladybug Project) didn't have images of this one either. They were excited to see it, too - and included the comment, "Great job Abby!"    :-P)

Great to hear that you are submitting your beetles to the LLP, I always like to help them out and appreciate when others do too!

Hippodamia moesta moesta!
I've been desperately hoping we'd get one of these! Phenomenal photo of this gorgeous, dramatic lady beetle. You've made my day :)

no, it's not that subfam, this is something in the Coccinellinae
so bloody flat and black... i'm dying to hear from our experts
my best guess would be Hippodamia -- perhaps akin to 5-signata
