That's a good picture, but I think it belongs in the file for the closely related Small Milkweed Bug Lygaeus kalmii

Maybe if Kennedy sees this and agrees, he can move it to the other bug's page

I agree that this is Lygaeus kamlmii and I have moved this image to that species,

Yes that is definitely a Scarab, i.e. a beetle in the family Scarabaeidae, but there are large numbers of scarab species and I cannot see enough to attempt to identify the species.
