I can't take credit for finding this one. I looked over the plant this was laying eggs on and moved on. My wife was with me and looked it over and noticed this little Scutellerid. Could tell it was a nice one right away. Looks like Euptychodera corrugata is a good match.

I took photos of the plant and am trying to get an ID on it- those can be seen here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/28705832

Update: Alex Abair identified this plant as Hairy Goldenaster (Heterotheca villosa)

As I was taking photos, it dropped off the plant and fell to the ground. If I hadn't seen it fall and land, I never would have found it. Looked like a tiny little pebble in the sand. Great camouflage. Super cool little bug.

Would appreciate any confirmation/correction on my ID.
