Found this beetle hiding in my camera bag, and I’m very curious to know what it is. It was about 1 inch long.

Dear Chris,
You are correct that this is a Blister Beetle, and we believe it is in the genus
Lytta, most likely either Lytta viridana or Lytta cyanipennis, the Green Blister BeetleThere is a section to BugGuide devoted to photos of what cannot be conclusively identified as either of these species, and it includes submissions from Saskatchewan and surrounding states in Canada and the U.S.
