These cool green beetles belong to the Cicindelidae family. They are ferocious predators and run after thier prey. One of these beetles was clocked as running at 5 miles an hour which is really fast for something so small. We have five different species in the UK and the commonest is the Green Tiger Beetle. They get the name tiger from thier speed and fierceness, dont get too close though as they can use thier huge jaws to give you a nasty nip!
