Description
I took this near the end of the summer.
I can identify the flower but not the bugs! Any ideas?
Thanks for viewing. :0)

They are known as Blister Bugs, seriously. We had a few in our house. They spit at you if you get too close. Thier spit causes you to blister up where it hits. And it is extremely painful. Also if you kill it and get it's blood on you you blister as well. Was not fun when I thought it was a stink bug and tried to put it outside.
what a wonderful macro photography. simply perfect done,Jodie. * vote * #:O)
Love the composition.......did these nasty little guys pose for you? Almost looks like it. Well worth the price you paid. Ouch.
Yep, blister beetles, but that part that burns,is what is got from the spanish fly,lol. Excellent capture and job here.
I am sure enmos can identify it...... I never bother identitifying bugs , I just love to watch their colors nd patterns.;) Nice one.:O))
