I have no idea what this is. The red bits look like elytra (suggesting a beetle), but the rest of it doesn't resemble any beetle I know. It could be some kind of bug.

On looking at this again, I see it is a beetle, but bottom-up instead of head-up! (Silly me.) Looks like a Ditropidus, but I haven't seen one this colour.

Sorry, a rather misleading view, but I couldn't really tell what I was seeing before it flew away. It was very small!
