Bastaardzandloopkever

Bastaardzandloopkever - Northern dune tiger beetle - Cicindela hybrida
Tiger beetles are hunters and can see their prey quite easily with their large eyes. They are only able to hunt when the surface temperature of the ground reaches 28°C. This is about the same temperature at which their prey begins to move, and tiger beetles are able to pursue their victims easily with their long legs
