Spotted green tiger beetle

They are commonly found in deciduous forests. The adult is 12–14 mm in length and has fairly long legs. This species is associated with wooded areas and they are often found in sunlit patches clear of undergrowth such as dirt paths and fallen logs where they hunt caterpillars, ants, spiders, and many other kinds of arthropods.
