Dear Lynne,
This is not a Beetle, but rather a True Bug. This is a Cotton Stainer in the genus Dysdercus, and we believe it is Dysdercus sanguinarius based on this En Advisor Travel site.
Dear Daniel
Many thanks – that is brilliant and so quick too!
The fact it is not a beetle explains why my attempts to ID it failed miserably!
Best wishes
Lynne
