Six-spotted Tiger Beetle (Dromica transitoria)

Family Carabidae Cicindelinae
Although most of our Tiger beetles are found on the beaches of our coastal areas, this species was found at Berg en Dal Camp, Kruger National Park.


A small beetle of about 1cm in body length and a very fast runner.

They are predators of other insects.
