It looks like a potato beetle. I haven't seen one lately but my father's garden, years ago was loaded with them.
Its a BABY POTATO BUG! No doubt!
Have fun squeezing them and then pop orange goo. LOL
No seriously get them gone before they RUIN your potato crop.
Pop em or flick em in water and soap or dust if you have to.
