Summary

Description

This beetle is large and cream-colored. According to the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, it is the fastest land animal of its size. It spends most of its two years of life as a larva buried in the sand.

Only pristine beaches with little environmental pressure can sustain a tiger beetle population. The beetle eats sand fleas, lice, flies and ants; its demise warns of imbalance in the habitat.
