BeetlesCerambycid?
Once again your site helped with an identification (Beetles page 4)! Over the past few weeks these have been numerous in damp wooded areas of Columbia, MD. I do have a few questions about them. Are these blister beetles? Are the wings clear? Thank you,
Edwin Tullos
Hi Edwin,
Your beetle is Cicindela sexguttata, the Six-Spotted Tiger Beetle. Beetles have two sets of wings. The elytra are metallic green the the membraneous flying wings are hidden from view.
