==Description==
The adult beetle is 9 to 17 millimeters long. It is long and slender, with a hairy, punctate body. The thorax is narrower than the head and abdomen. It is black and yellow, its color pattern varying across its geographical range. It has two black spots on the head, two black stripes on the thorax, and two or three black stripes on each elytron. Beetles from northern populations have two elytral stripes, and southern beetles have three.〔Capinera, J. L. (Striped Blister Beetle, ''Epicauta vittata'' (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Meloidae). ) EENY-280. Entomology and Nematology. Florida Cooperative Extension Service. University of Florida IFAS. 2003.〕
The larva changes in appearance as it develops. The new larva is whitish and has long legs that allow it to be mobile. It darkens to a reddish brown color with darker bands and the legs shrink.〔
