Six-spotted Tiger Beetle (Cicindela sexguttata)Observer
storm_petrelDescription
Seen on prairie claybank. Habitat seems off for 6-spots, but there was a wooded draw not terribly far away. And looks to lack hair on first antennae segment. Seen adjacent to https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/212998015
an entirely green/yellow green one with zero maculations. And hairy antenna base.
Three species on the little claybank section? It screamed cicindelid habit from a distance.

I'm so curious about this one. Habitat shot included. On a prairie claybank. Uniform green verging to almost yellow. No maculations. My hopes were up it was something other than six spot!

Poor cell phone pictures, but looked interesting. Habitat is open woodland edge, pond nearby. Lancet has been seen here. This seemed fairly small, noticeable club. Bright thorax
