that is the glossy shield bug, (Cermatulus nasalis) a harmless carnivore that eats anything from moths, to bees, to other different beetles. They especially enjoy monarch butterfly larvae, and is distinct from those two spots, and often a yellow crecent mark on its back. this one probably isn't fully grown because there is no crecent.

Oncacontias vittatus
order = Hemiptera
family = Acanthosomatidae
I think it is but it doesn't look as light and doesn't have the 2 spots.
