Look at the picture again, the picture the OP put up has a black bug with red/orange spots, not a red/orange bug with black spots. Unless my eyes are a whole lot worse than I realize. :?

Hard to tell. I took it as orange with those black spots running together. Could be the other way I guess too. It's springtime and I got those Asian Lady Beetles waking up and they are everywhere.

I think what you got here is an Asian Lady Beetle. Some parts of America are experiencing an epidemic the past few years. Between the late 1910’s and the mid-1970's, there were several planned and accidental introductions to the U.S., with no survival. Many planned releases across the eastern U.S. in the late 1970's and early 1980's were attempts to use the beetles to help control aphids and scales. After years without a sighting, the beetle was seen in Louisiana in 1988. Whether this final, successful colonization was due to a planned release or an accidental introduction is under debate.

The wasps at home are of many types, yellow, black, black with a definite blue cast to them (like blue bottle flies?), black with red wings. The wasps out here in Micronesia are... rusty-colored. :? I haven't gotten close enough to one to really see.
