Another bug out back ... a Western Green Flower Beetle (Cotinis mutabilis)

"Selfie" - how I look in my wife's eye.
After walking around out back with my camera, just about to come and put it away I saw this beetle. The colors were very amazing and looking through the viewfinder it seemed like I could see through the translucent into the eye of this beetle - which made photographing this beetle more personal (as seen in the second photo).

This photo is where I found the beetle. And after a brief photo shoot in the setting sun, the beetle was returned to the same location .. and soon crawled away.
