Dasymutilla occidentalis (Linnaeus)
Thank you Jolly for the ID. I looked it up and I believe you are correct. I've never seen one of these, so it was very exciting to read about. :)
I do not agree with the ID as D. occidentalis does not have the two spots on the back of its body. In D. occidentalis, the spots are combined.
