Thanks Logan. I thought they were all "ladybugs". Seems that the ladybug and Asian lady beetle are from the same family of insect but different species. Also interesting the the lady beetle was introduced from Asia to help with the crops in North America, which it did do, but also became a pest and invasive species. North American ladybugs are actually rare these days.

So you are correct and this is an Asian Lady Beetle. Learn something new every day.
