“…In addition, Drosophila may not provide adequate nutrition for egg development in tiger beetles as seen in some ground beetles (Jorgensen & Toft, 1997). In laboratory studies, average fecundity for tiger beetles was estimated to be between 10 and 50 per adult for eastern North American species (Shelford, 1908), between 20 and 50 for Arizona species (Knisley & Schultz, 1997), and up to 310 for a large Oriental species (Hori, 1982).…”

“…Schultz (1989) found that larvae of eight sympatric Texas cicindelid species occurred in one of four specific soil types, but the mechanism for this partitioning was not determined. Other studies have reported that larvae of co occurring species are segregated based on topography, vegetation cover, slope, soil type, soil particle size, and soil moisture level (Shelford, 1908;Willis, 1967;Knisley, 1987). Non-overlap of larval habitat may be evidence of niche partitioning for sympatric species, but the proximate mechanism for female oviposition has been investigated only in controlled laboratory studies of three species: Cicindela limbalis Klug, C. sexguttata Fabr., and C. tranquebarica Herbst (Shelford, 1908).…”

“…Unlike most other tiger beetle species, the larvae of Cicindela hirticollis relocate their burrows and are often observed crawling on the sand surface (Shelford, 1908;Knisley and Schultz, 1997). Although the reasons for this movement are not clearly understood, Shelford (1908) found that C. hirticollis larvae would abandon old burrows and dig new ones in response to slight changes in soil moisture.…”
