Tiger - Cicindela repanda
Great Meadows NWR, Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
August 4, 2007
Haven't quite found a match for this. C. hirticollis rhodensis seems close but I'm not close to convinced. Judging by the crack on the elytra, it's pretty worn so the pattern may be a bit faded. On sandy trail close to a river.

Moved
Moved from Cicindela.

Thanks Dan. Moving them for the moment as the only one for MA is an undated speciman. I'll dump them when we get something better.

Cicindela repanda
This is C. repanda. I would add these to the guide, but as you said, it's probably better to frass these. At least you have an ID on it now. - Dan
