Insect and Spider Identification: CLOSED: What is this?, 1 by Syrumani

This isn't the best picture, but I found 3 of these guys on my egg gourd vines. I had three vines in this spot, but two are dead, and this guy was eating off a leaf on the third! Can anyone tell me what this is, and how I can get rid of it? When I saw these last year, I thought maybe they were green ladybugs . . . but I also didn't think ladybugs would eat the plant - just the bugs.

Your help is appreciated!
