Blister BeetlesWhat’s This Bug?
Hi:
We found this bug on the road in our neighborhood. We live north of Prescott, AZ at 5000ft. in high desert terrain. I’ve attached a photo of it. We let it go, so I hope it isn’t rare! Thanks,
The Stoddard Family
Dear Stoddard Family,
This is a Blister Beetle in the genus Megetra. According to BugGuide, this genus “Restricted to Chihuahuan Desert of the USA (TX, NM, and extreme southeastern AZ) and Mexico (where most of this desert region is located).”
