Out of Range - Coccinella septempunctata
East of Tucson, Saguaro National Park, Pima County, Arizona, USA

Kaufman puts the range of Coccinella septempunctata further north than Arizona, but this certainly looks like one to me. I'm asking for a confirmation or, if it's something else entirely, a new ID.

Coccinella septempunctata...
lives all over Arizona. I collected it readily in the Phoenix and Tucson areas. Field guides are geneally not the best reference for up-to-date geographic distributions.
