Another ladybeetle on Artemisia - Coccinella septempunctata
Just outside of Fairplay, Park County, Colorado, USA
July 19, 2013
10,500ft elevation, midday. Found with several other individuals on the same plant, as well as orange eggs (but no way to know if this individual laid them.) I apologize I don't have more/better photos. Can frass after ID.

Cocinella septempunctata
Unfortunately this is one of those non-native species that's contributing to the decline of the C. transversoguttata you found in the same area.

I had a feeling...
Didn't expect to see the seven-spotted up that high. How unfortunate. :(
