Re: Biggest Tiger Beetle in America?
Actually the Great Plains tiger beetle (Amblycheila cylindriformis) is not the biggest tiger beetle in N. America. A. hoversoni, native to south TX, is slightly bigger and is the largest tiger beetle in the Western Hemisphere. As the saying goes, "Everything is bigger in Texas". Here's one I spotted scurrying along a dirt road while driving slowly with the bright lights on:
