Do you know what kind of bug this is?

I am in Ohio and have never seen this bug in my flower garden before. They are small, with no wings, mostly black and some orange/red stripes on the lower part of the body. They are about a centimeter big and all over of the leaves of my rose of sharon.

Do you know what kind of bug this is?
Can you provide a photo ?
Reply:It may be box elder bug, but maybe not since you said it's wingless.

These sites each have lots of great pictures, you might be able to narrow it down

Reply:Google Boxelder bugs click images. Is this the bug? If so it won't do much damage.
