Spotted Tiger Beetle
Cicindela aurulenta
-6.8468, 107.581
Field Notes
Description:
Viewed up close, a myriad of metallic hues. Six whitish spots on the wing casing. Bulbous eyes and long, carnivorous jaws.
Habitat:
Adjacent to a small stream. Altitude 1000m.
Notes:
A bug that I had failed to notice up until recently. It rarely flies more than a few inches from the ground, even though its flight ability would match that of a true fly, most unusual for a beetle.
