The Tiger Beetle




LOOK FOR THE FANGS! YOU HAVE TO LOOK CLOSE THOUGH!


Scientific Name: Cicindela Ocellata Rectilatera Chaudoir


Common Name: Tiger Beetle


Size: 12-14 milimeters


Range: In the United States, found over much of the eastern and Great Plains states. Absent from the Gulf Coast area. Range continues into southeastern Canada.


Food: A variety of insects


Location Found: In Rhonda's Pool swimming, The reason why it was in Rhonda's pool is because they love the water they can swim and are very attracted to it. I think that it was in her pool because it needed to get to water and Rhonda's pool was the closest.


Other Information: This bug has two jagged fangs! Look in the first picture. I tried my best to point them out. The fangs are closed we did not get a picture with his/her fangs open. I hope you can see them.
