    Very cool-looking! I don't know what it is, but wanted to suggest that you consider sharing it to a FB group or on BugGuide for ID confirmation. Your ID could be correct, but some other similar species are:

    -Conocephalus fasciatus, C. strictus, and C. fuscus.
    -Orchelimum silvaticum and O. bullatum
