Summary

Meloidae, commonly known as blister beetles, are a family of insects belonging to the order Coleoptera. They are characterized by their elongated bodies and soft elytra (wing covers). Blister beetles produce a chemical called cantharidin, which can cause blisters and irritation when it comes into contact with human skin. They are often found in fields and gardens, feeding on plants and occasionally on other insects.
