Found in North Puerto Rico. I'm so confused??

You'd think it would be easy to ID this since I see lil critters similar to this one all the time, but my boyfriend and I cannot figure it out. It looks like a kind of beetle, very similar to a striped cucumber beetle or an elm leaf beetle, but I don't think they even live here and it's still different. Then we thought it might be some kind of long horn beetle similar to a chlorida festiva, but that doesn't really match either?? Then I had a lightbulb moment, literally, and thought it might be a kind of lighting bug, but can't find one thay looks like that. Honorable (but not accurate) mentions include soldier beetles and blister beetles. Pls help. I can't sleep til I find out what kind of friend landed on top of my cheese dip.

Found this cutie in Germany

Seems to be a moth caterpillar? Was quite big and squish and very dramatic when we tried to put it back in nature and off the trail for its safety.
