If you got the temperatures you were promised, of course he was. I like the colors on this little guy.

He looks like a little ornament :)

You could use him like a little brooch.

Nice colour contrast here Iggy!

Thanks, everyone. Yeah, I was quite struck by his/her colours. I wonder if I can find details on the web some where...

wow Ig that gold and black just pops of that blue in such a nice way. Good eye for spotting it!

Thanks, casil. I think I can now say with confidence it is a Mottled Tortoise Beetle, Species Deloyala guttata - Mottled Tortoise Beetle - BugGuide.Net
