Found it, three striped lady beetle. The thorax looks like a ladybug and it acts like a ladybug so on the umpteenth search of google I found a grainy pic. Striped Ladybird Beetle was the magic search term.

http://wiki.eanswers.com/en/Coccinellidae

Of course, now I am trying to find a source other than a wiki because I am seeing the same grayish pic a whole lot of places and some stating this bug is from India. lol

I am not seeing antennae in the pics either so....I don't know. This one died in the cup left outside, so I can't tempt it with aphids or eggplant leaf anymore.
