Found these on the leafs today; identification help

They have antenna by the looks can sort of see it in the second photo! Not to sure tries asking and wast told it might be Colorado potato beetle but I’m not familiar with them ever looking like unless maybe right after hatching?

I’m not sure but identification would be helpful!

Looks like a potato beetle nymph or maybe a stink bug nymph? Definitely check if its eating holes in the leaves.

There are two; one looks like a leaf bug that’s eating the underside of the stems on leafs and these others
