Just figured it out. Wow! It's a moth that tucks its wings in close to its body so that it looks like a beetle when not flying. Mother Nature sure is amazing.
I found one of these in my garden yesterday and haven't posted the picture yet. Don't know what they are, but I'll let you know if I figure it out.
