Red Beetle
I don't recall seeing any red beetles around here before either. This one was around an inch long and spent awhile climbing around on the bark. At one point it crawled into a bit of a tight overhang and stayed there only moving a little. I am not sure if it had found something it liked there or if it was just having trouble getting back out.
