TIGER BEETLES OF CONNECTICUT

Important Note Regarding Identifications


It is important to note that the diagnoses for these species were written for populations from Connecticut. As many of these species occur throughout North America these diagnoses may be misleading if you are trying to identify non Connecticut specimens.

Even Massachusetts and Rhode Island have species that do not occur in Connecticut and so it is your responsibility to obtain the necessary literature.

The References section has a number of sources that should help those interested in Tiger beetles from other states.
