Flower beetle - Trichodes ornatus
Puyallup/ Puyallup River, East of Miridian Bridge, North Bank, Pierce County, Washington, USA
June 3, 2020
Looked like a Tiger beetle, Cincidela, but the antennae didn't match up, so maybe something similar. The flower it sitting on is Leucanthemum vulgare or Oxeye daisy. Keep or frass as to your needs.
