Mylabris oculatus
Blister beetle on a Canna Lily flower. Apparently they are florivorous.
Flower garden in Rural village. Semi-arid desert.
It's a Blister Beetle. I found a website which shows a stamp from Botswana with this Blister Beetle on it. The website lists it as Mylabris polymorphus, but I have not been able to confirm. Middle stamp, third row.
