Boisea trivittata
This red and black insect could fit onto a dime. It has six legs and very long antennae. It was able to climb the inside of a plastic bucket but didn't appear to have wings. (I never saw it fly).
It was one among many of the same type of insect. All were concentrated on the ground near a hole left by a decomposed root. This was in our back-yard, so there was shade, grass, and dirt. Temperature was around 100 deg. F. and they were all very active.
Sorry for the blurry picture. I'm still working on the close up for my camera!
