bug, elongated, black spots, feathery branched antennae - Pelonides quadrinotata
Highland Haven, Burnet County, Texas, USA

It looks like a cross between a lady beetle and a spotted cucumber beetle with a different pair of antennae thrown in. It was on some wild onion/garlic. Many thanks for telling me what it is....Denise K.
