When I asked Google AI to identify the 2 bugs on a cactus flower in this photo, it told me that they were a Leafcutter (or Mason) Bee and an Ornate Checkered Beetle. 

It aslo identified the beetle as the predator and the bee as the prey.  Again according Google AI, in describing the beetle said, "They often wait in flowers specifically to ambush and eat bees that come to pollinate."

Who knew?
