Wow, beautiful patterns!
This is a Delta Flower Beetle (Trigonopeltastes delta), a type of chafer.

Thanks - Unfortunately . .
I rescued this guy from a spider web in the garage.
I was going to try to clean him up a bit, but he wouldn't have it.
He flew away - only got this one shot - note the spider silk still on him.
