Have to admit I was there for the flower... and struck Gold. Naturally, I have no idea what it is, but with Gold dust all over it, I've been following it for a long time :)
I agree with Sherree that's it's some kind of beetle. Maybe you've discovered a new one - the golden beetle! (although that gold dust could be pollen of some kind)
I think it was probably green to begin with and with pollen all over it there was your gold bug, of course green would have been nice too. Beautiful flower it was into though. I've probably said enough, so great job.
