My daughter took this picture in the parking lot of her salon. She was fascinated by the bug's bright colors. I don't know what it is. Do you?

This appears to be Tegrodera aloga, a blister beetle (Coleoptera: Meloidae) known as the iron cross beetle - see http://tinyurl.com/24wg433 for images and more information.

Thanks, suunto. Too bad such a pretty bug is such a bad bug.
