While spraying some Jap Beetles on roses, a bunch of these got sprayed before I saw them.
Any idea of what they are? Good or Bad would be good enough.
I may have to wait to see if they return, so I can get a better pic.
Thank you all for being so helpful with ID's.
It never dawned on me, that with all the new plants would be all these new bugs.

Does it look similar to anything you have seen?
If I had to guess, I'd say a flower beetle... it's hard to see though.

Is that granite next to the flower?
Yes that look like it, or at least in that family.
Is there a site that would tell me if it is a "good" or "bad" bug?
That is a bluestone rock that I put it on to take the picture. We have a runoff filled with that so the rain doesnt wash out the dirt.
thanks Claypa,

That site usually has info about what the insects eat. Those beetles eat nectar and pollen.
Just curious about the stone, I'm thinking of a few projects around here
It is the cheapest stone around here. I will take a pic for you. 2 years ago, I think it was about $90 per dump truck full. It took 12 dumps to fill the gully that is about 6' wide by about 500' long.
