Two-spotted Ladybug with a difference

Two-spotted Ladybug with a difference
I was so excited when I saw this tiny Ladybug, as I thought I had found a different species. However, it turned out that this, too, is a Two-spotted Ladybug. Usually, the ones I find have just one large, black spot on each side. Seen during a hike on Keith Logan's land, on June 17th.

"The most familiar form of the two-spot ladybird beetle is the red one with the two black spots. However, there also exists a black form with red spots on it. In addition, there are intermediate forms, but they occur only rarely in nature." From Wikipedia.
