Colorful stink bug nymph on a chrysanthemum plant - Podisus
Clinton, Anderson County, Tennessee, USA
October 5, 2010
Size: ~5mm
Spotted on a chrysanthemum plant, around lunchtime. Didn't seem hugely active, moving around only an area of a few leaves on the same plant. Didn't appear to be eating the plant or anything else.

(Edited title to reflect the fact it's apparently a stink bug nymph. Would love to know the exact species.)

Actually not a beetle,
but a nymph of a Stink Bug, Pentatomidae

Any ideas on which type?
Thanks for the incredibly quick reply! Searching pentatomidae found a bug on this site which seems somewhat similar in its colorings, labeled as Tylospilus acutissimus. No idea if that's actually what it is, though, as I don't know how much the coloring can vary in bugs of the same type.
