I just found it.
Its called a wheel bug, its in the assassin bug family. I thought it resembled a stink bug/praying mantis.
They are predators upon soft-bodied insects such as caterpillars, Japanese beetles, the cabbage worm, orange dogs, tent caterpillars, and the Mexican bean beetle
Which is exactly what Ive been having problems with! I'm stoked its around hopefully it'll stay around for a while.
"Because most of their prey are pests, wheel bugs are considered as beneficial to the garden as ladybugs."
