BeetlesInsect Identification
Hello,
This bug, and it’s many friends and relatives, has been decimating my tomato plants. I do not seem to be able to find any mention of or identification for it anywhere. Can you help me? I live in Flat Rock, Alabama, which is in the north eastern corner of the state, at about 1300 to 1400 feet elevation, on a plateau above the Tennessee River called Sand Mountain. Thank you so much.

Hi Sherry,
This is a Margined Blister Beetle, Epicauta pestifera. It usually infests soybeans. You can find more information on this BugGuide page.
