Leaf-Footed Bug - 1st Instar Nymph

Acanthocephala sp.

Description:

This striking red insect was sitting on the leaves of a tickseed plant in my yard this weekend. It has a proboscis similar to the assassin bugs that are all over my garden, but the coloring is very different and its abdomen is much rounder.
