On Elaeagnus umbellata (205603717).
iNat is pretty sure Hypselistes. Idk; the abdomen markings are distinctive and different.
My 1st impression was a beetle, and I wonder whether that is deliberate. "Here's a yummy beetle, come and get - you!" (Although with the red coloring, it may be more like "I'm an icky beetle, don't bother me and I won't bother you ha ha ha.") There is a hesitation in the markings at the tip of the abdomen, as if to suggest elytra. I wondered whether that was just a trick of the light, but it's consistent in all the photos I got of that end.
Tiny thing, anyway.
