Hi,
Found this beetle while hiking in Montville, Maine. I’ve seen these before, but mostly only on mountains!

Hi Jasmine,
However did you get this fast running Six Spotted Tiger Beetle to stand still long enough to have photos taken? They are also capable of taking to wing if threatened.
It took me a while, but I picked it up carefully and when I covered it up with my hand it stopped moving for a few seconds, I think maybe the dark threw it off! Thank you! They’re so pretty!
