Cicindela lemniscata? - Parvindela lemniscata
N side of Deming, at a gas station just north of Interstate 10 on US Hwy 180, at 32 16' 25.5"N, 107 48' 33.1"W, Luna County, New Mexico, USA
July 30, 2007
Attracted to lights at a gas station at night. Closest thing in BG is Cicindela lemniscata from nearby AZ; not quite the same, but looks like the same species to me. Can anyone confirm?

yes
That's C. lemniscata. A little variation in the markings, but the same species. Great pic.
