I took this shot the other day and now I am wondering what this is. It looks a little like Ladybug but it is not - so what is it?

Very nice shots.

I'm guessing some kind of beetle, specifically maybe a leaf beetle or scarab, but I couldn't find it here:

Definitely a scarab beetle, June bug variety.
