An iridescent dark navy blue beetle with short soft wing covers on top of a very large soft abdomen walks across a dead leaf. It has a very narrow thorax and head, and beaded antennae.

An iridescent dark navy blue beetle with short soft wing covers on top of a very large soft abdomen lies curled up with legs tucked in on a leaf. It has a very narrow thorax and head, and beaded antennae. There is an orange-yellow droplet of oily cantharidin coming out of the middle leg joint.
Close up of an orange-yellow droplet of oily cantharidin coming out of the middle leg joint of the beetle.
Excited to finally get pics of this genus of oil/blister beetle! This female played dead when disturbed & exuded droplets of cantharidin from her legs. This sticky substance can cause blisters & has been called "Spanish fly". Larvae are parasites of solitary bee nests. #Meloidae: #Meloe; NC, USA

A close-up photo of two beetles with disproportionately large abdomens. The beetles are almost completely black, with only a faint bluish tinge. One beetle is climbing on a plant stem, and the other is on the first beetle's back.
These blister beetles (maybe Meloe angusticollis) were a strange sight! They're larger than most of the other insects in the area, and perhaps they can afford to be, since they secrete noxious chemicals.

La de la foto claramente se ha equivocado de taxista, porque eso definitivamente no es una abeja....
Aquí podéis ver un adulto de Meloe fotografiado en la misma zona en la primavera de 2024, ¿Será un progenitor de la larva de este año?

This #beetle is the Black #Oilbeetle #Meloe proscarabaeus.
Oil beetles are fascinating, such a distinctive body shape.
They look cool, & they can produce an oil to deter potential predators which contains canthiridin. This can cause people to blister,hence their other name #Blisterbeetles
