Default Anybody recognize this Bug?

This got on my bright white T-shirt, I moved it to a bucket...
In the last 14 days I kept relocating a Lady Bug/Beetle "alligator" from same bright white shirt to a nearby plant... is this a later stage of the same beetle?

EDIT: By the way, NO, I did not wear said shirt for 14 days! I bought a pack of them... shirts, not bugs!

Possibly a soldier beetle. If so, leave it be as it's a good guy!

We call it a sloth bug,walks in slow motion but flies 100mph
Never saw them here before,so probably an import.

It does look like a soldier beetle, a good guy. Eats the eggs of pests.
