Blister BeetlesWhat is this bug?
This photo was taken on the hood of my truck. It is approximately 1 inch long from the front of its head to the end of its body. I saw this in Southern California on May 30, 2008 at 3:45pm. What is it?

Hi Randy,
This is a Master Blister Beetle, Lytta magister. Adults are active in the spring in the Mojave and Colorado deserts.
