Thanks Sean Uhl for the Lead. I got the ref. for Lychee Shield Bug, Jewel Bug; Chrysocoris stolli: www.indianaturewatch.net/view_cat.php?ta...

I apologize: Hemiptera is the Order, not the Family. The Family is probably Scutelleridae. I thought this was a Rainbow Shield-backed Bug (Chrysocoris sp.) but when I compared images...I don't think that is correct either...

I'm pretty sure this is a type of Shield Back bug (not a beetle!) I'm going to look around online and see if I can find the name of the genus and species. They are what they call "true bugs" and if I remember right the family is Hemptera or something like that.
