Hi Logan,
This appears to be a False Potato Beetle, Leptinotarsa juncta, but it might be another member of the genus. According to BugGuide: “Similar to Colorado Potato Beetle, but elytral punctures are regular instead of irregular. Also, a brown stripe at the center of each elytron (wing cover) and on the inner edge of each elytron (where they meet down the middle) distinguish this species.”
