Blister Beetles

I have found a yellow and black beetle in the desert
This is the only picture that i have of it.. the rest were all way to blurry as i was following it around with my camera trying to get a perfect shot..It is the first time I have ever seen anything like that.. I found it in the desert in 29 palms, ca. Oddly enough though after a few hours i spotted another one on the other side of the fence. it is a very pretty beetle.. and its very fast. Can you help me at all with identifing it?
Terra
