Beetles
The Blister Beetle (Teratolytta dives) is a type of beetle known for producing 'cantharidin', a toxic compound that can cause skin blistering. While specific information on T. dives is limited, it is part of the larger Meloidae family and shares general characteristics with other blister beetles, which have a long and infamous reputation due to their toxicity.
