Cicindela limbalis? - Cicindela limbalis
Edward Lake Rd, near Plaster Rock, Victoria County, New Brunswick, Canada

I believe this is C limbalis (Green-margined Tiger Beetle or Red Claybank Tiger Beetle) based on the dorsal markings, e.g reduced humeral lunule, metallic green margin, etc. Any other suggestions?

No disagreement.
I'm justifying moving this image because nobody else has corrected you:-) Maybe not the best way, but...Your tiger beetle images are just fantastic, and leave little room for argument as to ID anyway! Keep up the great work.

Thank you for the confirmation!
Eric,

I very much appreciate the help in ID, as this is a group that I am just beginning to get to know better (first year of spending some time in the field with them...)

Cheers,
Denis
