I don't have a source for locating beetles, but judging by its antennae, it is a Scarab Beetle of some sort in the family Scarabaeidae

I have now managed to track down your beetle, it is the Harlequin Flower Beetle or Arizona Jewel Beetle Gymnetis flavomarginata http://bugguide.net/node/view/8938/bgimage
