If you can get a sharper picture showing the antennae as well there'd be more chance of an ID. If you don't mind killing one you could catch it by inverting a plastic ziploc over the flower to capture it, and then drown it in rubbing alcohol. It will be much more cooperative for a photo op then and putting it carefully on white paper will make the camera focus on it. Care is needed to remove from the alcohol or legs fall off. Still may not help, especially if Janet thinks it would still be difficult. I wonder if it is after pollen, although there are holes in the petals.
