Pyrrhocoridae, most probably a Dysdercus sp. and could be Dysdercus cingulatus, which is very common, but we would need more pictures from the whole bug and preferably from the underside to be sure. http://malaysianinsects.web.fc2.com/Dysdercus-cingulatus.htm http://www.ces.csiro.au/aicn/system/c_1866.htm http://www.forestryimages.org/browse/detail.cfm?imgnum=5368176
