Not much is visible, yet among the regional species with entirely orange prescutum the best match seems to be Hexatoma (Eriocera) erythraea (Osten Sacken, 1886)
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.
