Doesn't look right for a tiger beetle. There were several around but they fly readily when approached. Can anyone ID??

Cincindelidae
This looks *exactly* like a tiger beetle. I forget the url, but I bet if you google image-searched tiger beetle you'd find a good site with lots of tiger beetle pix to compare.

tiger beetle
Looks like a tiger beetle to me... I've seen many at the MN Landscape Arboretum out there in your area. and I also saw a black one in north Minneapolis, running amd sometimes flying down the sidewalk.
