Thanks Sarah.
Luis, they do appear to be metallic woodborers. Try searching through the buprestidae family on bugguide: http://bugguide.net/node/view/162
Lovely spottings, and I do like the name Jewel Beetle much better, especially since they are found on flowers.
I have the same kind of spotting. Do you think it is the same Sarah?
