Blister
Beetle (two photos)
Zonitis bilineata
This beautiful beetle was hanging around on my sunflowers in
my yard. Blister Beetles are sometimes very
beautiful, as this one is, but they shouldn't be handled because
they can cause skin irritation. © Carol

I couldn't find any specific information on this
species but I know they feed on plants and are considered pests.
