Bisti Badlands - Red and Black Blister Bug by Debra Martz
While working our way across the barren and parched land toward the Ziggurat hill, we watched closely where we were placing our feet. We were heeding the warning we had read, "Rattlesnakes, scorpions and venomous spiders live in this area. Do NOT place your hands and feet where you cannot see them!" And that is why I noticed this red and black blister bug crossing paths with us. I didn't know what type of bug it was until I came home and searched online for it. I discovered that if a predator (me?) gets very close it will “bleed” from its joints cantharidin, a very smelly substance AND highly toxic to skin causing blisters! Thank goodness that I got my photograph and moved on!! I believe I even narrowed it down to the scientific species but there were 3 very similar so correct me if I'm wrong on Megetra vittata
Here's some more on the area: I ran across the Bisti Badlands/De-Na-Zin Wilderness a few year...
My favorite moments are times spent outdoors. I love bird watching, going on hikes and appreciating nature that is all around us. Therefore, much of my photography involves nature and wildlife. I, also, enjoy traveling and have galleries with images from several states in the USA and a few European countries. Any image that might have the Fine Art America watermark will NOT print on the purchased product. Thank you for visiting my online gallery!
