Good job Wincent - I think you have got it. @Leslie yes it is a Blister beetle and here's the reference that Wincent omitted http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/urban/medical/blister_beetles.htm

Leslie, I think you are correct. I am not too good at identifying these guys. It does look similar to subgenus Epicauta, at least to me: http://bugguide.net/node/view/362105/bgpage I hope it helps!
