Hi,
Please help to idenditfy these 2 beetles.
Is the beetle in pic 1 a Cicindelidae
( Tiger Beetle )?
The beetle shown in pic 2 & 3 has two humps on its neck. What is it?
Thanks & regards

Tiger Beetle Perhaps
Hi Lance,
We agree that the green beetle does seem to resemble the Tiger Beetles in the subfamily Cicindelidae. Furthermore, we believe the two beetles you have submitted have many similarities and they may be closely related. Hopefully our readership may be able to contribute a more specific identification.
MIght this be a Tiger Beetle???

I don’t know who they are but they aren’t Tiger Beetles. If you look at the upper jaws of the beetle on the first picture, you see that they are not fit for chewing animals.
