Bug with black wings, some orange, and blue - Cisseps fulvicollis
near The Woodlands TX (North of Houston), Montgomery County, Texas, USA

Interesting bug from today; haven't seen one like it before ;-) Hard to tell in this picture, but the antennae have kind of a serrated look similar to what a moth might have (but more subtle).
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
