FLIGHTLESS TIGER BEETLES OF HONG KONG

Thank you to everyone who got to work on identifying these for me and Richard Muirhead...

Particular thanks to Robert Schneck who really got the bit between his teeth and wrote:

Hi Jon,


The Hong Kong Entomological Society responded; they are a kind of tiger beetle! http://insectavaria.com/cicindelidae-table/Tricondyla_pulchripes.html
Could you do me a favor and credit the Hong Kong Entomological Society with the answer and provide a link to their site? It is: http://hkentsoc.org/

I have to congratulate myself a little bit; I thought they looked like tiger beetles but assumed they drank blood, which of course, would leave out tiger beetles.

The important part, however, is that they are identified, which makes me ridiculously happy.


Sincerely,
Robert
