More of Those Blister Beetles

Texas Canyon, Dragoon, Arizona

For a couple of weeks on my walks to work and home I noticed just one particular Mesquite bush that
was covered in little butterflies, mostly Blues. One day they were gone. The next day that same
bush was literally covered in these Blister Beetles! Just amazing. They were only there for one or
two days and then they were gone.

These are stunning shots and so well presented. Blister beetles are so neat, but we have none quite like these ones up here. BV
