Kristal, I'd say that's a pretty good suggestion :) Also - bpuffz, insects belong in a group called arthropods, so on the Noah categories this spotting belongs in the "Arthropod" category instead of the "Other" category. Hope we can help you ID this critter further!

This looks like a blister beetle in the family Meloidae - http://bugguide.net/node/view/181.
