Dysdercus albofasciatus
Hemiptera, belonging to the family Pyrrhocoridae, these bugs are common at the end of winter and beginning o spring. Black with borders and ventral in red, they have a couple of yellow marks in the dorsal area.
They are associated with the bushes and lower vegetation in forests near the rivers in the Mesopotamia Region, that includes provinces like Entre Rios, Corrientes, Santa Fé, and Misiones. I took this picture in the Ribera Norte Natural Reserve.
