Ladybugs or Ladybird Beetles - Coccinellidae

For anyone interested in ladybugs, whether they live in Alberta or somewhere else in North America, I highly recommend John Acorn's book "Ladybugs of Alberta" by the University of Alberta Press. It covers all 75 species of ladybugs found in Alberta, and that is a good chunk of the species found in North America. It is also very informative and a very enjoyable read. Each species also has a range map so it is easy to see if it occurs in your area.
