Leopard Tiger Beetle (Lophyra)

Family Carabidae Cicindelinae
Small beetles of about 1cm in body length and fly away when you come near.
 They blend in so well with the sand on the beach that they are difficult to spot unless they move.

They look as if an artist has been allowed to paint them. Very pretty. Keep well Diane
