I don't think so... This is a longer beetle than Colorado Potato beetle and
not as round, gray/brown and no stripes.
I'll go take a picture. We didn't have them until June last year but we've
had some warm and really dry weather here this year and lots of pests are
way ahead of their season.

Subject: [Market-farming] blister bugs?

My farm is in the Missouri ozarks. I have never had blister bugs
before july or august . By that time the potatoes are done. We do have
a recurring problem with Colorado Potato beetle/. I wonder if we
aren't calling the same insect different names
