Hi there! Today I was browsing through my files and found this picture I took during my trip to Oaxaca in 2011. Any idea of the id of this fine ladybug?  Thanks in advance! |

Not a Lady beetle. It's in the Family: Chrysomelidae Subfamily: Chrysomelinae. It's Calligrapha felina.

Ohhh I see... I could've sworn it was a Coccinellidae. Thanks a lot for the clarification!
By the way, it seems it's not a very common bug, is it? I've tried googling it and found no images of it.

Biologia Centrali-Americana--electronic version, on-line. By the way, the green color will change to light yellow after death.

Google only:Calligrapha
Then you get enough hits.
