Beetle - Blog Posts
Yesterday afternoon I dragged my friend to Denge Wood forest. While there, I spotted one of my top five favorite beetles. These lustrous and magnificent little guys are green tiger beetles (Cicindela campestris).
They are incredibly fast predatory beatles that hunt down and eat other insects. The larvae of this beetle live in individual burrows in sandy soil. They flick out the sand around them creating a pitfall that other insects fall into.
So beautiful but deadly.

Larger elm leaf beetles :) Found in Georgia! Aren't they precious?!?!
I saw this wood dung beetle on a walk in the woods. It’s shell was so clean and shiny.
