    Gorgeous! It reminds me of those heavy metallic flake paintjobs popular with hot rods and show cars.

    Found crawling around on Helianthus anuus leaves. I wish I got a better pic but it was tough since it was so small and moving around a lot. If anyone knows species, please let me know. Location was eastern Nebraska
