Just found this one in one of my straw bales. It appeared to have just emerged from a cocoon. It doesn't come out well in the pics but it looks like feathers on its hind legs. The iridescent green wings and head and brilliant orange make for a strikingly beautiful color combination.

Any ideas as to what kind of bug this is?

Thanks,

Jerry
