Cicindela hirticollis is a species of tiger beetle that is commonly found in sand bars and sandy beaches of North America.[1] It is medium-sized, is about 2–14 mm (0.08–0.55 in) long, and is active in the summer. The dorsal surfaces of the head, prothorax, and elytra are dark brown. The elytral markings are very light-colored cream or white.[2] The species' common names are hairy-necked tiger beetle and moustached tiger beetle.[3] Its population is in decline.[4][5][6]
