Green tiger beetle Cicindela campestris on An Camas Mòr site. This attractive beetle is exceptionally common on parts of this site that is threatened by major housing development. Some 120 species of beetle including 3 nationally scarce species were reported from a survey undertaken in early June and late July 2008 at this threatened site that it can be safely assumed supports even greater invertebrate biodiversity than has so far been recorded. Tiger beetle is an apt name for this predatory beetle, the only member of its family known form the north of the UK. BSCG has recorded tiger beetles at other sites threatened by controversial development including at Carrbridge and Nethybridge.
