red and black insects in my flower bed

It looks close, but, unfortunately, that's not it. The ones that is in my bushes/flowerbed has black legs. It's definately red and black. This one wasn't so much red. I'm terribly sorry about the picture, but yeah, my cell phone doesn't do well with pictures. Do you have another idea on what it may be?

I am careful with all members of this family

and with water bugs also. They know how to defend themselves.
