This bug looks like the American Oil Beetle which is one type of a Blister Beetle like you found out. Your method is actually very good but takes time so I salute you for that. 🙂 reminds me of taking of ticks from a pet dog

I have a hearty dislike for preying mantis’s so I don’t think I could bring them to my garden. We do have them here at our house. They eat our screens. 🙁 We collected some for a terrarium one year for us to watch and learn about nature. We never looked at them the same way ever again. It was quite an experience. http://treasuringthemoments.net/2013/07/08/a-nasty-surprise/

Might be a natural way to help keep those beetles at bay and even if they didn’t do the trick they would still help with other pests.

I’m in Arizona, Emily.

I read that Blister Beetles are actually throughout the U.S. They may or may not look the same as mine. Thankfully, they are only a problem for about 2-3 months for me. As of now, I haven’t seen one for the last few days. Good news!

We don’t have blister beetles in north TX, and I don’t remember them growing up in MN either.

Sounds as if you are doing all the right things!
