Chrysochus auratus
found in garden habitat, mixed milkweed etc. Eastern woodland area, MD.
Great shot! Cynthia also spotted one of these: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/677....Also, you can remove Fabricius from the scientific name, it's not required. Though he was a prominent entomologist who named a lot of insect species, pretty cool guy.
