It looks similar to photos of the florida predatory stink bug but its markings are a little different. Anyone know what it is?

It's a stinkbug called a Harlequin Bug, Murgantia histrionica

This bug does a lot of damage to plants in the cabbage family - I have trouble raising mustard because of it. See http://tinyurl.com/q4kdyx for detailed information.
