This predatory beetle with large eyes that provide exceptional eyesight, has the ability to run quickly as well as the capability to fly. The Festive Tiger Beetle (Cicindela scutellaris lecontei) is ordinarily one of the more difficult insect species to approach and photograph. However, while mating they were completely still and allowed me to move about them freely.

"Festive Tiger Beetle" (Cicindela scutellaris)

...a species of "Flashy Tiger Beetle" (Cicindelini) that is native to North America, east of the Rockies. Like most tiger beetles C. scutellaris is typically found in dry sandy areas with sparse vegetation, like dunes and roads. Festive tiger beetles are predators and will feed on other insects by running them down at impressive speeds.

The Festive Tiger Beetle (Cicindela scutellaris) is a fascinating insect. It combines beautiful markings, a fleetness afoot, skillfulness in flight and superior predatory abilities...and just look at those lethal pincers.
