Florida Blister Beetle - Epicauta floridensis

Florida Blister Beetle - Epicauta floridensis
Kitching Creek Trail, Martin County, Florida, USA
August 23, 2006
Shot at Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

I've shot these blister beetles before and, once again I found them feeding on this prickly briar. Information from the park identified it as Shrankia microphylla which is listed as a common plant in this scrubby pine environment.

Patrick, I think we finally figured out what these are:)
