Ivory Marked Beetle

I was cleaning my kitchen today and found this bug on the side of my coffee canister!! what a surprise. I took him outside and put him on this leaf and took a picture.

I have never seen one of these before, so I looked him up on the internet. They feed on trees, which I live in a woods, so I guess that's where he came from. Somehow he got inside...I hope he's the only one I see!
