Cicindela formosa generosa

Can we get a page setup for this subspecies? I know, I know, there are problems with tiger beetle subspecies. However:

1. For now, at least, this is a validly recognized subspecies.
2. Most of the BG photos of this species belong to this subspecies.
3. There is already a separate page setup for the nominate subspecies.
4. Subspecies pages have been setup for many other tiger beetle species.

Regardless of how one feels about subspecies, we should be consistent in whatever approach we choose.

Thanks!
Among the photos not yet placed to subspecies within Cicindela formosa, photos 8172 and 181745 can be moved to subspecies C. formosa formosa. The taxonomy of photo 33958 is uncertain, so it is best left under the species page. All remaining photos can be moved to subspecies Cicindela formosa generosa.
