There are many types in this beetle family but this reddish orange with black spots has to be the most known. They are useful in the garden and a great friend to gardeners as they eat aphids and other pests - often laying their eggs directly into aphid colonies to be the most effective.
As a vegetable gardener I am always happy to see them.
