Asclera ruficollis
False blister beetles are unique in that the adults of all the approximately 1,000 species are obligate pollen feeders. Their common name comes from the fact that they have toxic chemical defense, like a blister beetle, which causes blisters when they are pinched or mistreated.
Spotted in a deciduous forest.
