2 desert blister beetles (Lytta Magister) mating

Desert blister beetles (Lytta Magister) can stay attached for 24 hours while copulating, but that doesn't stop the female from foraging for food. She will need it to lay her eggs. These beetles can fly when alone. They can secrete their blood from a leg joint which can cause skin blisters & make any predator regret eating them. They do not seem afraid of people & are even a little aggressive.
