It is red,soft body, looks like 6 legs, about 1/8" long, pointed tail almost looks like a stinger, possibly pincher on head. Hibiscus leaves started turning yellow, found these bugs up and down stems. Found more on hollyhock. The plants have not been close to each other. Tried soapy water, no effect. Ended up using a can of roach spray to kill them. I have never seen these before.
