Asian ladybeetle (Harmonia axyridis), adult just emerged from pupal case

I've noticed several of these emergences of late, but this is the first one I was able to photograph. This was near the Interpretive Centre. Also seen close by was a larva of this species. Notice that the newly emerged adult has no spots and that the elytra looks almost translucent/
