Beetles in blooms

A Spotted Flower Buprestid Beetle, also known as a Metallic Wood-Boring Beetle lounging in a Sun Cup.
A couple tiny Dermestid Beetles and maybe a kind of Blister Beetle (?) on a Goldfields flower.
Anyone with a garden will recognize this character…the Cucumber Beetle is a member of the Chrysomelidae family, the Leaf Beetles.
