Could be a ladybug, aka lady beetle, lady bird, etc. They aren't all red with black spots. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Propyl鈥?/a>
I have seen them here in Idaho and they are very fast and hide from you. I never did get a name for them just thought how pretty they were.


Used to have one in NC that was opalescent and it was neat.
