• Three of the five British Tiger-beetles are illustrated in a typical pose. These beetles live in sandy areas and they are perfectly equipped for a predatory lifestyle, possessing huge eyes, rapid speed both on land and in the air and formidable weaponry in the shape of their secateur-like mandibles. The Green Tiger Beetle is the only widespread species in Britain. Further images of the handsome Heath Tiger Beetle are shown on Beetles 14
