Reminds me of...
Orientus ishidae, an introduced species from Japan. I was recently photographing these in my backyard too. Lovely insects. Too bad they're introduced, though.
What plant did you find it on?

not sure
Maybe some kind of dogwood (Cornus)?
I see the resemblance too.

I see.
They probably attack a variety of plants, anyway. I find mine on Wayfaring Trees {Viburnum lantana).

Yes, lots of hosts.
