I am quite confident that this one is Hippodamia tredecimpunctata;
I found it on bog plants bordering a big pool and that seems to be its natural habitat.

I would agree with that, it has the correct number of spots (that is not always a guide), and the pattern behind the head looks to match.

A few on this site to compare,

Thank you so much for this site, Wallaby! I have been looking for a good one, without much success, because I have more to ID. This one will be very helpful.!
