Brachiacantha felina - male
The shape is more rotund than other species of "5-spot" Brachiacantha, and the bright red spots are typical of B. felina.

The white "face" and white markings on the pronotum indicate that this is a male.

There aren't many photos of this species on BG, it's great to have these!
