Tiger Beetle - Cicindelidia rufiventris
Hill Forest, trail along Flat River, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
July 9, 2009
Size: 12 mm
On a trail. (Originally misidentified a C. punculata--thanks for correction.) Now, I'm also not sure about it being C. rufiventris, so am moving to ID request.
Date and location update 7/14/23.

Hmm...
Not sure about the ID, this looks like Cicindela rufiventris, since it does not have the punctures in the elytra.

Oh, duh. Thanks for the correction, and that's a new one for me, too.
