    It looks like a Red Cotton Bug or Stainer (Dysdercus cingulatus), but there is no wiki page to identify it. Some information here

    This one was identified as Pyrrhocoris apterus, which is certainly wrong. It's some Dysdercus and I have tentatively changed the ID to Dysdercus cingulatus now, but not at all sure that this is really correct ... Posted 6 years ago

The Red cotton bug

Dysdercus cingulatus was reported to feed on several species belonging to the plant family Malvaceae as well as a few species of Bombacaceae. It is the most serious pest of cotton in South and Southeast Asia.
