Reported as an adult

Usually reported as an adult late March to late May, middle week early May, and again late July to early October, middle week mid-September.

Reported as a larva

No records here are marked as larvae yet, so there is no larva season to show. 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.

Identification

How to identify it

Telling it apart

From what Ohio’s records show. Only what the records support is shown.

Often confused with

  • Oblique-lined Tiger Beetle Cicindela (Cicindela) tranquebarica50 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant
  • Twelve-spotted Tiger Beetle Cicindela (Cicindela) duodecimguttata38 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant
  • Big Sand Tiger Beetle Cicindela (Cicindela) formosa26 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant

From iNaturalist’s similar-species counts, refreshed monthly: confusions in Ohio first, then worldwide. Only species with an Ohio result are listed.

From 299 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 repanda repandaBronze Tiger Beetlesubspecies

Every one of these records counts toward the Bronzed 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.
