Glad to help. Now I know how to name my picture when I get around to posting it.
Good picture. These are difficult to photograph. I know. I've tried.
Here's a picture of it with wings spread: http://bugguide.net/node/view/229024 Those orange, white and black markings sure are beautiful.
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.
What a unique perspective.
He told us it is Rock Mountain Bee Plant (Cleome serrulata).
Oh, wow! How did you get this shot?
