Cicindela (Cicindelidia) punctulata punctulata Olivier 1790  

According to Willis (1967) these beetles are found in disturbed habitats such as dirt roads, paths, road cuts, eroded gullies, vacant lots, field edges, and so forth. Both larvae and adults prey on small arthropods. The beetles are fully winged and are good fliers. Several examples were collected on the Island and along the Maryland shore between 1905 and 1918 (DHC, AKF, LOJ, FK, WML). There are no recent records. According to Shelford (1908) eggs are laid in relatively dry hard soil, usually humus, in July. Mating occurs in August in Quebec (Larochelle, 1972e). The larvae hibernate and again feed between April and June, pupate, and emerge as adults. The adults do not hibernate. Adults were collected in July and September. Total length, 11.0 to 13.0 mm (12.0).
