Bronzed Tiger Beetles are probably the commonest and most numerous tigers along the Ridge. They show perfectly the basic pattern of the Cicindela tigers, namely: A front maculation, which starts on the shoulder and comes down then turns inward, making a capital C (at least on the left side); a middle maculation, which comes in from the side, curves sharply down, then turns back towards the center; and a rear maculation which is sort of like a mitten with a thumb, then the main part on the tail.
