Large, active, and colourful, tiger beetles are as watchable as birds - and easily as fascinating. Best of all, these surprisingly fierce predators with their jewel-like brillance can be found right across Alberta." "In Tiger Beetles of Alberta, naturalist John Acorn showcases the nineteen species of Cicindela that live in the province. John explains the name, habitat, and distinguishing marks of each tiger, with tips on where to find these remarkable insects, highlighted by more than 100 outstanding colour photos and illustrations. Appendices, references, and a glossary round out the text."--Jacket
