Species Heliocis repanda
These pollen-taking False Blister Beetles are a good insect to avoid as they have toxic chemicals on their bodies
like the regular Blister Beetles. Nonetheless, they are beautiful. This particular one was found alongside the road
to Powder Mountain Ski Resort in Weber County, Utah. © Carol Davis, 8-2-2009
