This cute little bug is Oriel. She is quite shiny and has all these beauty marks, symmetrically placed, on her back and legs. It was a bit breezy the day I photographed her and I had to hold the stem of the plant that she was on so that I could get a still picture. Oriel is about 15 inches long. Ha ha. Just joking. She is about 1/4 inch long, so it's easy for her to hide in the flowers and trees.
