Buprestid - Acmaeodera adenostomae
Triunfo Creek Park (Pentachaeta Trail), Ventura County, California, USA
June 18, 2015
A common species here, really curious what it is. They seem consistent with little to no variation in markings, so suspect only one species.

Acmaeodera jocosa.
Usually associated with chamise.

Makes sense!
It is of course on chamise in the photo, and it is a widespread plant. There are at least 5 Acmaeodera present at the site, not including unidentified species of which there may be as many as 3 or as little as 1. Fantastic seeing them all together on the same plant sometimes.

I'll post the remaining Acmaeodera in the coming days.
