Dear Freda,
This magnificent insect is a Flag Footed Bug, Anisocelis flavolineata, and it is in the same family as the Squash Bugs, Coreidae. Here is an image of a Flag Footed Bug on iNaturalist. Your image is quite lovely, which is why we have decided to feature it as the Bug of the Month for October, 2014.
What's That Bug? does not endorse extermination
Just found your grand website…I am always trying to ID insects and other critters in the wild of central Texas with my granddaughter Georgia…thanks! PS can you give newbies like me a primer on using your site?
Our search engine is quite good, if you type in the correct key words.
