| |  Is the Green tiger Beetle the same as the Cliff Tiger Beetle
I have a Green Tiger Beetle in my Gallery that was taken along the coast in Pwllheli, North Wales. Now I've just been reading an article about life around cliffs and it had a picture of the Cliff Tiger Beetle. Both look the same to me. Is one just another name for the other or are they two seperate species ??

Seems like this is a name given to Cicindela germanica, a rare carabid of southern coasts. If that's where you found it then it could be the one. |

The Cliff Tiger Beetle was only seen in a picture but it looked very similar to the Green Tiger Beetle which I photographed on the Welsh coast and I thought that maybe it was named differently in other areas. They must be different species then.

Oh yeah, certainly a different species. I'll see if I can find your photo. |

If I've found the right photo then it is C.campestris, as you say. | | |
