Looking for Lunch 8-16-23

As far as I know, this is one bug that isn't bothering my flowers.
However, I often find them on the marigolds.
So, maybe I'm wrong.

An ID would be appreciated.
I'm not super knowledgeable about bugs that don't bother my plants.
I'm guessing it's a type of beetle, but I really have no idea.
It's about 1/4 to 3/8 inch in size.

This little guy is a Plant Bug, likely the Tarnished Plant bug. YOu got an excellent shot of it against those gorgeous colours. V
