Seven-spotted lady beetle (Coccinella septempunctata)

This pretty, large lady beetle, was one of two I saw today in Larose Forest. Also seen were scores of the small reddish leafhopper, Cuerna striata, a lone 14-spotted lady beetle, a Virginia ctenucha caterpillar, a damsel bug, various small flies, two fireflies, and three butterflies (one was an eastern comma, the other two were too far away to ID).

Really looks like spring will be early this year, or maybe summer will be very long again
