This is a juvenile stink bug (Pentatomidae). Beetles (with the exception of rove beetles that look quite different) have their abdomen covered by an elytra. Also beetles typically have 11 segmented antennae. In some instances this number is reduced to 9, or vary occasionally less, but they do not have 4- or 5-segmented antennae like many bugs do. Cheers!
