It appears to have flown into a spider's web, but it was still alive and not stuck, just sitting on the goldenrod seed head.

Just love the iridescence on this beetle - it matches the background color (sort of)!

Such beautiful iridescent color, and well detailed. I'm glad it wasn't stuck in the web! V.

seems both shiny and stalwart...hopefully it was not snagged here and flew on to adventures..
