Orange thoracic shield
no long setae and orange stripes on all body segments makes this look like Eudryas grata, one of the wood nymphs. Images in the guide here. Wagner page 383. Nice find! and nice image!

Similar to Beautiful Wood Nymph
A little darker red, but it appears to be on grape leaf which is one of their food plants.
