Hello

I found this insect on a citrus leaf.

Is this a squash bug and a bad bug ?

Thanks

No, is a squash bug.

Not sure what that guy is other than he appears to be a member of the leaf-footed bug family. But if he is a loner and there is no plant damage the odds are he is one of the millions of "neutrals" found in the garden. Not good but not a bad guy either. ;)

It's a longhorn beetle. Don't damage garden plants. Sometimes visit flowers but don't damage them either.
