Epicauta niveolineata is a species within the genus Epicauta, commonly known as a burning blister beetle due to its ability to produce cantharidin, a chemical that causes blistering upon skin contact. This species is particularly striking due to its characteristic coloration. It has a black or dark base color with distinct, narrow white or pale lines running along its wing covers (elytra), giving it the name “niveolineata,” meaning “snow-lined” or “white-lined.”
