Fabulous, sharp capture of these two. I noticed yours are different than the ones I have found here in that they have all those dark features whereas ours are pretty much all gold. ~BV~

What a strange group of bugs! Glad you said there were three as I would not have guessed. They are nicely camouflaged. V
