tiger beetle larva shenanigans

(probably Cicindela repanda- Massachusetts, 6/24/22)

these guys are pretty unusual among beetle grubs in that they hunt visually, watching for movement with four beady eyes before bursting out of their burrow to grab passing prey. They can’t seem to tell the difference between a bug and a blade of grass though.

tiger beetle larvae don‘t normally leave their burrows, but if you dig them up they curl up, brace their head against their butt and snap open to jump away. Another species, the endangered Habroscelimorpha dorsalis, lives on beaches and escapes from parasitoid wasps by curling into a wheel and rolling away on the wind.

Cicindela tranquebarica, Ellipsoptera hirtilabris, Cicindela rufiventris Cicindelids are funny little things. We gave exactly ONE kind of beetle dipteran-esque flight capability and its the predatory cursorial carabid. E. hirtilabris there in the middle also displays excellent camo on the bright white sands of the Florida sand ridges it calls home

A green tiger beetle posed for me today :D What a distinguished gentleman. I've never actually seen one in real life up to now. It's really weird, because they usually signify clean environment, but I found him in the city centre🤔

A spotted tiger beetle (Cicindela sexguttata). These metallic green beetles are native to North America and adults are efficient predators with large mandibles.
