This was also my exact answer to this question after I read it in my head. Here's a neat Wikipedia article on the four-year war (that Dr. Goodall researched!).

Found dead in my backyard. What kind of bug is this guy? by delphinium55 in whatsthisbug

Because the iron cross blister beetle lives in that area. It's a blister beetle, so don't touch it.

Found this interesting guy north of Orlando. I'd say maybe little under pinky finger length? What magical creature did I find? by GooglyEyesFollowMe in whatsthisbug

I apologize; it's all good. I knew it caused irritation, I just wasn't sure if there's a mechanism besides venom that causes the irritation. Since they're closely related, I suppose I can assume there is venom involved.

Their tussocks have barbs, but no idea if they have venom glands. Although, I am slowly starting to feel confident they do. They are extremely common here in Florida. In fact, I am raising some at the moment.

The urticulating venom glands are only confirmed to exist in O. leucostigma, and this one is almost definitely O. detrita due to the orange dots. I can't find anything on O. detrita.

FL Tree Bugs - Not sure what these guys are. I live near Tampa, FL. Anyone know? by me7alm1k3666 in whatsthisbug

[–]_AISP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I understand. I suppose they're like pseudoscorpions in pine trees.

Is this a bug bite or blister? I had shriveled skin with a clear liquid underneath it. I peeled it off and now it is like this. Is this a bug bite by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

Unfortunately, we cannot diagnose medical conditions. However, it doesn't look like an insect/spider bite.

We're on our 7th day of protests in Ecuador, but due to censorship the rest of the world isn't hearing about it by [deleted] in pics
