Here its antennae were out, but they were retracted in most of the shots I got. Not sure the precise species, but it's somewhere between a quarter and a third of an inch in length, and on a plant that was surrounded by dense vegetation. The photo doesn't do justice to the way his iridescence made him stand out.

I'm seeing a lot of these this year, in multiple species. Most are small and rather a challenge to photograph.

An odd looking one among the flowers of the Queen Anne's lace. Apparently (formerly considered) a mordellid beetle (HT Herbert Polacek). Likely Hoshihananomia octopunctata.
