Reported as an adult
Usually reported as an adult early March to mid-May, middle week early April. A later season is not shown: most records are from one year.
Reported as a larva
Only 1 records here are marked as larvae, too few to show a larva season. One needs at least 20 records from 5 different years.
What these results show
These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.

Time of day it is recorded
From 147 Ohio records with a time. Most records are made when people are outside, so night and early-morning species are under-recorded.

From 78 records placed within 100 m, beside all Ohio records placed the same way. People record where they go, so this shows where records come from, not where the species lives. Land cover: USGS Annual NLCD, 2025 (opens in a new tab)
Finer identifications
Some Ohio records of this species were identified to a subspecies:
- Cicindela tranquebarica tranquebaricaOblique-lined Tiger Beetlesubspecies
Every one of these records counts toward the Oblique-lined Tiger Beetle's season above.
Why some records go further than species
Many species vary from place to place. Groups of a species that look or sound a little different, and live in different areas, can be named as subspecies. Observers and experts only identify a record that far when it shows enough detail to tell them apart. Records without that detail count at the species level.
