This is not a beetle; it is a true bug (order Hemiptera, suborder Heteroptera), possibly a scentless plant bug (family Rhopalidae), but I need to a little more research on this one...

After a bit more thought, another possibility is a seed bug in the family Lygaeidae; see http://tinyurl.com/4d9hrxz for an example in the genus Oxycarenus

Found one with name Lygaeidae Oxycarenus Lavaterae which looks very like mine. So thanks.
