That's a blister beetle, in the genus Cysteodemus. They ooze caustic fluid from their joints. Pretty cool-looking beetles, though.

There are LOTS of insects, in all different groups, that mimic ants. Ants are generally chemically protected, and predators learn to avoid them. Cysteodemus armatus, however, is not an ant mimic. It mimics the black widow spider, actually. Dyanega (talk) 17:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
