these guys are pretty unusual among beetle grubs in that they hunt visually, watching for movement with four beady eyes before bursting out of their burrow to grab passing prey. They can’t seem to tell the difference between a bug and a blade of grass though.
tiger beetle larvae don‘t normally leave their burrows, but if you dig them up they curl up, brace their head against their butt and snap open to jump away. Another species, the endangered Habroscelimorpha dorsalis, lives on beaches and escapes from parasitoid wasps by curling into a wheel and rolling away on the wind.

Cicindelids are funny little things. We gave exactly ONE kind of beetle dipteran-esque flight capability and its the predatory cursorial carabid. E. hirtilabris there in the middle also displays excellent camo on the bright white sands of the Florida sand ridges it calls home
A green tiger beetle posed for me today :D What a distinguished gentleman. I've never actually seen one in real life up to now. It's really weird, because they usually signify clean environment, but I found him in the city centre🤔

Hello! I want to ask about the life span of tiger beetles, or more specifically, how long they usually live as adults. (I'm asking about Cicindelidae in general, but if you have specific information about Abroscelis anchoralis, Chaetodera laetescripta, or Cicindela aurulenta, it would be very helpful!! Basically I have some bug OCs (since quite a long time ago--over 5 years now), and for them I sometimes need information that might be hard to find. Thank you!!
This information is indeed hard to find. It depends on species, and I wasn't able to find exact info on the species you mentioned. From what I've read about other species, adult lifespan can range from just a matter of weeks to more than a year. They spend most of their life in their larval form, though.
