Stink Bug with Orange Cross Marking - Murgantia histrionica

Looking through a lot of the images on this site, I didn't find any that matched the markings. Looks like some kind of stink bug, but I don't know which one.

Thanks!
That was fast... I never know what the right way to search for images. Orange + Black beetle doesn't really narrow much down.

Thanks again.

Googling...
This isn't a beetle. When I Googled "orange and black bug california", one showed up on the first page.
