Tiger Beetle - Cicindelidia haemorrhagica
Copyright © 2013 Jim Moore

Tiger Beetle - Cicindelidia haemorrhagica
Rancho Santa Fe, San Diego County, California, USA
Size: 13.5mm
Perhaps species Cicindela haemorrhagica, the Wetsalts Tiger Beetle? See info page here (1), and "comment" (form "pacifica") here: (2); The abdomen for this specimen is a reddish color.

Collection date uncertain, but likely around 1973/1974 in the San Dieguito River bed basin.

My thanks for ID confirmation or otherwise!
