Tiny red insect, at first I thought it was a mite - running very fast on tree trunk.

Check out the nymph of Ausejanus albisignatus: https://tasmanianinsectfieldguide.com/hexapoda/insectsoftasmaniahemiptera/suborder-heteroptera/infraorder-cimicomorpha/superfamily-miroidea/miridae-plant-bugs/subfamily-phylinae/genus-ausejanus/ausejanus-albisignatus/
