A Few Notes on Tiger Beetles

I was searching the internet to find information on field marks to separate Hairy-necked Tiger Beetle from Bronzed Tiger Beetle when I came across this resource. It showed a photo of tiger beetle larvae.

Mystery solved!


I had photographed the above strange creature running across the sand along the Wisconsin River yesterday. I had no clue to its identity other than it was clearly some larval creature. If I owned a field guide for tiger beetles its identity might have been more apparent. At least this time the internet proved to be a sufficient resource!
