Bug in my garden

Can you tell me what kind of bug this is in my garden today. There are several of them on the flowers and the foliage of my cantaloupe they look like lightning bugs but I’m not sure. Thank you

Difficult to say from just your description. Lightening Bugs are beneficial beetles to our gardens!

You can upload an image to us or even take a specimen to your County Extension Service.
