BeetlesCheckered or Blister Beetle?
I looked through your section on beetles and couldn’t find this species. From what I looked at on your site and in books I’m assuming it is some type of checkered beetle or possibly a blister beetle. It was found outside of our nature center in Rockledge, FL. Could you identify it for us? Thank you.

Hi Brandon,
This is certainly a Checkered Beetle. It looks like Enoclerus muttkowskii according to the images on BugGuide. Eric Eaton is of the opinion that: “The checkered beetle is probably Enoclerus ichneumoneus.”
