Large orange shield bug with metallic blue patterns. The body is about 3/4 of an inch long.
High elevation forest about 400 +- ft above sea level.
Shekai, this looks similar to a Jewel Bug or Harlequin Bug, Tectocoris sp. (Scutelleridae, the Shield-back Bugs) - http://tolweb.org/Scutelleridae/10956.
Beautiful.....
