Species Cicindela denikei - Laurentian Tiger Beetle Species Cicindela denverensis - Green Claybank Tiger Beetle
Bright iridescent green ~3/4" long
On the banks of and near creek. Damp areas
The picture does not show the intensity of the green, but I chased the bug a while trying a better picture but to no avail. Thanks to everyone for the input based on the colors it matches is the: Species Cicindela denikei - Laurentian Tiger Beetle http://bugguide.net/node/view/124532/bgp... but I wont object if you feel it is the: Species Cicindela denverensis - Green Claybank Tiger Beetle http://bugguide.net/node/view/230316/bgp...
Looks like a Common Tiger Beetle of some kind. Cicindela sp.
Would need closer details to tell which one as there are a few iridescent green ones. See through here and see if you have an idea.
