Last Tiger Beetle - Cicindela hirticollis

Last Tiger Beetle - Cicindela hirticollis
Port Sanilac, Sanilac County, Michigan, USA
August 8, 2010
Size: 12 mm
OK last one for today. Found on the same sandy Lake Huron Beach as the other two. The amount of setae on the frons is a lot different to the other two though. Also hairier overall than the other two. Could this be C. formosa?

How likely is it to find all three on the same day on the same beach? Only difference that this one was in a more vegetated sandy area, while the other two were right on the beach of Lake Huron.

-- again look at the shoulder maculation which ends in a forwardly directed hook as in letter "G".
