1. Tiger beetle

   Tiger beetles are a family of beetles, Cicindelidae, known for their aggressive predatory habits and running speed. The fastest known species of tiger beetle, Rivacindela hudsoni, can run at a speed of 9 km/h (5.6 mph; 2.5 m/s), or about 125 body lengths per second. As of 2005, about 2,600 species and subspecies were known, with the richest diversity in the Oriental (Indo-Malayan) region, followed by the Neotropics. While historically treated as a subfamily of ground beetles (Carabidae) under the name Cicindelinae, several studies since 2020 indicated that they should be treated as a family, the Cicindelidae, which are a sister group to Carabidae within the Adephaga.

They are named for their stripes and predatory behavior which are similar to that of a tiger. Found worldwide with over 2,600 species, they are often located near sandy areas, including beaches, deserts, and dunes, but can also be found in woodland habitats. Larvae of tiger beetles are also predatory, living in cylindrical burrows in the soil.
