Hi, Our friend is seeing a lot of these lately on his patio and we are wondering what they are? He lives in Spain, Murcia Region in the countryside, spotted them at end of February.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Blister Beetle, we believe

Dear Scrumpy,
We haven’t the time right now to research this fully, but we are posting your photo regardless.  We believe this is a Blister Beetle in the family Meloidae, though we would not rule out that it might be another soft winged beetle like a Soldier Beetle or a False Blister Beetle.
