Betsy,
Here's the best I can do.
From the web site of:
Michigan Entomological Society, c/o Department of Entomology, Michigan State
University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824
"Lady beetles belong to the beetle family Coccinellidae which means "little
sphere". There are probably as many as 4,000 species found world-wide and
over 350 kinds are found in North America. Most common Northeastern species
can be identified by the pattern of spots on their elytra (flight wing
covers)"

==============================================
It was an irridescent, metallic colored lady beetle. Quite a shock, but
quite
beautiful. Any ideas?
Betsy
