Dear Puzzled in Phx,
The first time we ever received an image of gaudily colored Iron Cross Blister Beetle, we thought we were looking at a toy bug. They would seem to be right on time based on our posting five identification requests of Iron Cross Blister Beetles at the beginning of May 2010. Populations of individuals will vary from year to year.
