Maybe Black Sky Tiger Beetle Cicindelidia nigrocoerulea - Cicindelidia punctulata
E of Hamilton State Fishing Lake on County Rd 16, Hamilton County, Kansas, USA
August 6, 2018
Size: 12.5mm
This image appears to have two setae on first antennal segment which I believe identifies this as a Cicindelidia nigrocoerulea.

I was doubtful it was Black Sky but the two setae were confusing.
