Kaibab Plateau,

Description: 

This specimen of Cicindela purpurea has a rather unusual broader drawing on the back. At first sight the specimen looked very much like a Cicindela decemnotata, Badlands Tiger Beetle. After closer investigation and consulting specialists, the species was determined as Cicindela purpurea.
