Which Tiger Beetle from South Florida? - Cicindelidia punctulata
Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida, USA
September 1, 2014
I can tell that it's a tiger beetle, but I can't tell it very much. Anyone recognize it? I see a few candidates in Arthur Evan's Beetles of Eastern N.A., but can't decide which it might be. And of course I don't have better angles or views. There are hundreds of them in the sand around the wetland area, though, so locally abundant.

C. punctulata?
Upon further review here in the guide, I'm guessing Cicindelidia punctulata. Can anyone confirm?
