The first time I saw these fabulous green beetles was in the Brecon Beacons in July 2006, we saw one again in the New Forest in April 2009 and managed to get a photo this time. The Green Tiger Beetle, Cicindela campestris is the most common tiger beetle in Britain and it catches invertebrate prey in small pits it digs in the ground. It is found in moorland and heathland.
