Kill or Keep: Lady bug vs Squash Beetle

Lady bug right?

Squash bugs look nothing like lady bugs. However the asian beetle is very similar to the lady bug. That back pattern looks like an asian beetle. Mexican bean beetles are kind of similar too.

Maybe its a number 14? Lol, closest, lots of black, tiny white. Had orange ones last year, yellow larva, they loved the cucs, soap water works wonders. Think I'll let this dude live, i dont see red ones often, usually Orange bastards.

That's a good bug, it will eat lots of aphids.
