I think that's what it is. I don't think we have an all red leaf bettle like that with a black "head". I just saw a bunch of them this past weekend for the first time. As you can read in bugguide they were recently (2012) introduced in FL to control Air Potato. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/851236010
