Crimson Saltflat Tiger Beetle: Alkali Speedster
$3.50
Description
Sporting metallic coppery-red elytra and large mandibles, this agile predator sprints across bare ground in blistering bursts to ambush smaller invertebrates. In Minnesota, it is restricted to the sparsely vegetated, sun-baked saline mudflats of western prairie basins during midsummer. This watercolor sticker captures the striking sheen and sharp contours of a rare habitat specialist.
