Taken quickly with a small point and shoot, these 2 pictures are poor I know but is anybody able to identify this bug? Is it good or bad for Lemon/Orange Blossoms/fruit?

Thanks all!

Looks like a "flower" beetle of some kind - no idea if it's a pest or not - might be doing a reasonable job of pollination.

Thanks for your reply - That's what I though but as a lot of the blossoms we have are not looking too good now when 10 days ago they looked very healthy, I'm beginning to wonder.
