ukbeetles.co.uk/cicindela-hybrida It has a wide distribution in the Palaearctic region. Cicindela hybrida is common in Central Europe, even in artificial habitats. The species breeds in late spring and summer and overwinters as larvae which produce adults the following summer. These adults need to overwinter before breeding and so the life cycle takes two years. Adults are generally active from early in the day and may be seen basking in order to raise their body temperature before hunting. When the temperature increases to 35°C they ‘stilt’ to prevent further increase, and when the temperature increases further they dig shallow pits in the sand and bury themselves until the temperature decreases. The pattern of behaviour and duration of activity generally depends upon the availability of prey insects.
