Cicindela hirticollis is another wide-ranging tiger beetle with many named subspecies; the nominate subspecies C. h. hirticollis is the form found throughout most of Mississippi and in a few localities in Alabama. The species is apparently very sensitive to changes in moisture regime and both natural and anthropogenic changes in its habitat. In the south, it is found along large sandy rivers and along the coast. Although generally considered to be a spring/fall species, individuals have been seen during every month from April to October in our area.
