most that describe these blisters (to me) have blamed them on plants in past... seems many of my friends in lower Puna have met these beetles...
I havent been stung yet, also seems that if you swat/squash them their 'juice' is part of the blister cause.(??)
PS. we also have stinging caterpillars too called 'Stinging Nettle Caterpillars' they are worse than fire ants IMO but thankfully not as common as they were just a few years back here in upper Puna
******************************************************************
save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
