They are known as "blister beetles" because they secrete cantharidin, a poisonous chemical causing blistering of the skin and painful swelling. Cantharidin is used medically to remove warts, and is collected for this purpose from species of the genera Mylabris and Lytta, especially Lytta vesicatoria, better known as Spanish fly.

Blister beetles are hypermetamorphic, going through several larval stages, the first of which is typically a triungulin. The larvae are insectivorous, mainly attacking bees, though a few feed on grasshopper eggs; while sometimes considered parasitoids, it appears that in general, the meloid larva consumes the immature host along with its provisions, and can often survive on the provisions alone, thus they do not truly qualify (see Parasitoid for definition). The adults feed on flowers and leaves of plants in the families Amaranthaceae, Compositae, Leguminosae, and Solanaceae. Hypermetamorphosis is a kind of metamorphosis in which the larval morphology becomes less advanced as the larva goes through successive molts. ...
