Another DUH on me...just saw where you spotted it...I live in Port St John. I have yet to see one of these...very cool.

Nice...I love the Tiger Beetles. We have the spotted ones in Florida. They are called Tiger Beetles as they are aggressive predators of other insects. I was trying to figure out where the stripes were ...DUH!
