Green blister beetle (Lytta sayi)

I was watching bees on the choke cherry trees, when a couple of these big blister beetles flew in. The day was blustery and with trees flinging back and forth, light and shadow were changing constantly. Sigh.

it looks ferocious, and well adapted to shifting surfaces...

Sure not easy to shot in full sunshine and on a blustery day - you did very well! Irene

He's missing an antennae I think. Great closeup and details.
