As I said on your aphid image this is a stink bug, a 2nd stage instar, (nymph). It has another 2 instars to go through before becoming an imago, (adult). It belongs to the Superfamily: Pentatomoidea, and the Family: Acanthosomatidae. It will look totally different as an adult in as much its wings will be fully developed covering all of the abdomen, and it is possible that it wont be so colourfully marked. Again sorry that is as far as I can go with the ID. There is a point worth a mention as a lot of folk mistake Heteroptera, (True Bugs), for Coleoptera, (Beetles). Take note of the number of antennae segments you see, as in your image, so it is for all Heteroptera, whereas beetles are always in excess of 4 some having 10+. Another interesting fact: The bedbug is also from the Suborder: Heteroprea.
