Dear Page-N-Thyme Farmers,
You are correct.  These are Blister Beetles.  Alas, we cannot confirm their identification on BugGuide because the page is currently unavailable, but we matched it to a photo we posted recently from New Hampshire.  It appears it is Lytta sayi, a species with no common name.
