Ut appears to be a nymph of a predatory stink bug, Euthyrhynchus floridanus - see https://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/beneficial/e_floridanus.htm

Thanks Flapdoodle! I think you're right. My colorful bugs are predatory stink bugs, and they may prove themselves to be useful by eating other pesky insects.
