I woke up to one of these on the inside of my (upstairs)bedroom window. I just pushed the screen open and let it back out.

I've never been lucky enough to run into one of this so far down south but I'd read that they range all the way down to the Rio Grande.
Abducted him for a bit, got some good pictures of him as he roamed around on my arm, and turned him loose right back where I found him. I hope they lay some eggs in the wood pile; I'd love to see more of them around. They're pollinators, which are always welcome.
Here's are the pictures of him.

We get this beetle at fruit and bait stations. Very unusual markings and I enjoy seeing them. I've never seen more than one or two at a time.
