  1. I've never seen one of these before. Where did you find him?

  2. These were found on a sand bar on the Sydenham near my office. The larval form borrows deep into the sand, which explains the relationship to the substrate.

    I have alway loved tiger beetles - they are common around our pool in spring and early summer.
