I am guessing it might be the larva of a beetle in the subfamily Epilachninae (in the Coccinellidae family) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilachninae Also have a look at http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/veg/bean/mexican_bean_beetle.htm http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_ladybirds/28-spotted.html http://www.biodiversityexplorer.org/beetles/coccinellidae/epilachna_dregei.htm
