Blister beetle family (Meloidae)
It is always recommended to add the date of the image, and the size of the bug - it may help in further identification :-)

Thanks for the ID
I don't remember the exact date of the photo, but it would have been in mid to late April of 2003.

Lytta sp.
Might be Lytta magister. I'm envious. Haven't run across these large meloids myself:-(

Neat beetle. Thanks for posting.
Welcome to Bug Guide. Hopefully an expert will be able to ID your beetle with more precision. Please provide a date with your photos - we hope to see more - whenever possible.
