#blister beetle

@nohamozolna​ submitted: These guys for some reason love our garden. I tried to take them away from our garden because we have dogs but there are just too many of them. Luckily the dogs seem to avoid them. Do you think that they can smell that these ones are not to be touched?

I wouldn’t doubt it! The defensive fluid they secrete can cause blisters on bare skin, so I imagine it has a rather pungent smell! Smart doggies :)
