This not-quite-camouflaged beetle was on a Heterotheca latifolia flower, and I'd like to know what it is. Thanks.

...nice picture, shows the pronotal spots well...
This is Acmaeodera macra, probably more common in the southern portions of Texas. Some specimens can be quite large, as Acmaeodera go.
