Thanks for your question.

This is NOT a harmful bug.  However I am having some difficulty in providing a positive identification.  I suspect that it is a Mexican Bordered Plant Bug but am consulting with some other entomologists for a positive confirmation. Will get back to you.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
