Festive Tiger Beetle - Cicindela scutellaris -

Warren Grove Gunnery Range, Egg Harbor City, Atlantic County, New Jersey, USA
June 16, 2012
Size: Maybe around 11 mm?

I am posting this and marking all images as male due to a comment from Ben Coulter on FaceBook ("Well, it does show the ivory labrum of the male. It's all black on females. The frons is also hairier on males.")

Images of this individual: tag all
