Delta Flower Scarab - Trigonopeltastes delta

Delta Flower Scarab - Trigonopeltastes delta

This was clambering about in some Marshallia obovata in my garden, which was mostly past bloom. The beetle was very skittish.

Nice shot
I saw one of these today (1). Had to chase it a good bit...you're right about the skittishness.
