Leaffooted bug nymph, Acanthocephala sp.

I would agree with Korat, that it is a leaffooted bug nymph, but I can not put species on it without a better photo or seeing the adult.
The leaffooted bugs are true bugs in the family Coreidae. Both the nymphs and adults suck plant juices. Also when touched you will get a bad scent on your hands. Not sure why it turned colors for you.
Some of the coloration may be to mimic wasps.

This little guy reminds me of a Leaf-legged Bug - Acanthocephala terminalis.
