Lytta nuttalli
These Nuttall's Blister beetles aren't actually different colors. They're iridescent, and the shots were taken in different lighting: sunny on the first, cloudy on the second. Different light -> the iridescent structures reflect different colors. Science!
Photographed in Palmer Lake, CO.
