These flower beetles--I don't have my references available as I am out of town, but it is a scarab. Anyway, they were reveling in the pollen in the prickly-pear flowers.
I liked this shot, since you can see individual pollen grains on the beetle, and the lamellae of his/her antennae spread out.
Nikon D2H with 200mm macro.
