not H. axyridis; probably Coccinella or Hippodamia
H. axyridis always has double-branched spines visible on the shed larval skin at the rear of the pupa. This one has low tubercules with multiple setae (hairs). This is probably a Coccinella or Hippodamia sp.

Many thanks Abigail, further
Many thanks Abigail, further research through Coccinella seems to point to the correct ID. I have noted a lot of Seven Spot Lady Beetles around my yard so Coccinella septempunctata could be the final ID.
