@your-neighbor-bear submitted: Saw this exquisite guy while blackberry picking! (that's why my hands r purple) I'd love to know what sort of critter they r. Found in East Texas :^)
I love his black and gold colors <3
Excellent shaped friend! It appears to be a shield-backed bug, which is a type of jewel bug in the family Scutelleridae :)
