This little bugger was cruising around on our patio, looks like he can fly but we only saw him walking....keeps a pretty upbeat pace.....the little bugger. Anyone know what he is?

Thanks.

This is Lytta magister, a blister beetle (Coleoptera: Meloidae), sometimes known as the Arizona blister beetle or desert blister beetle - see http://tinyurl.com/yzxhlrj for detailed information.
