Effects of Humans on Tiger Beetles

Effects of Humans on Tiger Beetles
In this shot you can see how humans can disturb or destroy tiger beetle habitat. In this case by walking over it, which disturbs the habitat, but the adults can flee and larva hide at the bottom of their burrows and then can rebuild the upper parts of the burrow. While occasionally walking over it does not destroy the habitat things like heavy foot traffic and machines such as dune buggies can.
