In Phoenix, Arizona, I keep encountering this bug on a leaf, holding what appears to be it two front legs in the air. Hard to photograph - very skittish.
.5 cm or less in length.
Slender body black, with two red bands across wings. Rearmost band has a v indent toward center.
Two legs raised, unknown reason
I would upload photos, but this is my first post, so i may be unable.
This is not a milkweed bug ( far too small, wrong pattern and wrong body shape)
Not a kermes scale moth ( wrong pattern, other traits wrong - but a bit closer)
hopefully these images work
