Cycloneda polita
I've got a Cycloneda larval key(1) now, and this is definitely C. polita - one heck of a specimen, too! Gorgeous, and diagnostic, color and pattern. It has white on the sides of the 6th and 7th abdominal segments, which separates it from the other two Cycloneda species in North America.

Yes.
Indeed, a larval coccinellid. Moving to family guide page.
