Tiny Stowaway [pic]

Found this guy in the bottom of my tent, and one more just like it. No signs of problems with the plants.

Any idea what kind of bug/beetle that this is?

Its not a ladybug. Hard to see in the picture but it has black spots and a rusty red / tan color.

Perhaps an Asian Lady Beetle

Its about 1/4th the size of a lady beetle and has more of an elongated shape. I wish that I could show the colors better as well, its a very dusty brown and black, not glossy like a lady beetle.

FYI I only found one, and dont think that its attacking my plants. At this point I am just trying to satisfy my curiosity.
