Here are some comparison pictures. They are native to the southeastern US, but have also been spotted in Hawai'i. They are in the "true bug" order Hemiptera, in the seed bug family Lygaeidae.
One of its cousins in the Lygaeidae is the unusual Wekiu bug of Hawai'i. They are flightless, live at the summit of Mauna Kea, have "antifreeze," and eat dead insects out of the snowmelt.
