Beautifull green beetle
Hello all,
Anyone know what this nervously moving little creature (2 cms) is called? It's located in a pinetree area on the ground in Mid Holland. André |

It's a Tiger Beetle in the genus Cicindela, probably C. campestris.

Hence their common name of Tiger Beetle. I meet up with a lot of these little carnivours each year and have learned to respect them. Harry |
