Description
I took this near the end of the summer.
I can identify the flower but not the bugs! Any ideas?
Thanks for viewing. :0)

They are known as Blister Bugs, seriously. We had a few in our house. They spit at you if you get too close. Thier spit causes you to blister up where it hits. And it is extremely painful. Also if you kill it and get it's blood on you you blister as well. Was not fun when I thought it was a stink bug and tried to put it outside.
