CLOSED: Red and Black Insect

Moreno Valley, United States

We have large numbers of this insect at our new house in Southern California. Can anyone identify it for us? It's kind of like a Box Elder Beetle, but not exactly. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I found it on another site. It's a firebug. It feeds on mallow, which covers the yard. So that's the answer.
