Cantharidin levels in

If whole or crushed parts of
blister beetles are ingested by a grazing animal, the cantharidin can cause irritation and hemorrhages in the stomach.
As a result, the
blister beetle larva has worked out a sneaky way to get a ride to the meals it needs: Upon hatching, as many as 1,500 beetle larvae gather into a small ball.
A
blister beetle can scuttle across a person's chest without causing any harm, but the slightest pressure on the beetle, such as an attempt to brush it away, will force it to secrete this clear, sticky fluid that will cause unsightly, irritating blisters to develop on the victim's skin.
However, male bees paid visits to models scented with extracts from
blister beetle larvae as often as they did to real beetle clumps.

Cantharidin, made from the extract of the Chinese
blister beetle (Cantharis vesicatoris) is clearly the most effective treatment for mollusca in children.
This faking out of solitary bees by the
blister beetle Meloe franciscanus marks the first recorded case of parasitic insects cooperating to mimic their target, report Hafernik and his San Francisco State colleague Leslie Saul-Gershenz.
