I believe this bug came in my home with the plants I brought in from my porch. I would like to find out what kind of bug/insect I have found and brought into my home. It is small enough to hide under a plant leaf, is black with orange markings on its back, it has legs but I'm not sure how many. I don't know if this bug is just in east TN or if it is found everywhere.

Soundlike a box elder bug, they come in houses in the fall looking for a place to hibernate, but here is a good web site with pictures to help identify your bug:

sounds an awful lot like a lady bug larva or an elder bug.
Here are some pics for comparison:
