Red and black bug on tomato plants

Hi all,
First post. New to gardening. Been reading a lot about tomatoes. Found a bunch of tobacco hornworms had decimated my tomatoes. Fed them to the birds and keeping and eye daily. I pruned them and they are coming back nicely. Now I noticed a black and red bug on two occasions on my plants. Didn't look like it was eating the plants though. I have a pic but not the best. The back reminds me of Venom (bad guy in Spiderman).
