Tectocoris diopthalmus
30mm, very active
pot plants along a driveway with a lot of bush and salt water estuaries close
It is a true bug and not a beetle but I have included the term among the tags as I did not know until it was identified either.

Amazing colors!
damn you've got some nice bug shots, keep it up
Thanks Keith
This is another color morph of the Hibiscus Harlequin Bug(Tectocoris diopthalmus) you posted earlier.
Thank you Gerardo, Sometimes we just get a lucky break and have a camera in hand when the bug wants to pose
Welcome to Project Noah
