Eunota togata fascinans
Salt Flat Tiger Beetle
Eunota togata fascinans is a subspecies of tiger beetle in the family Carabidae. It is known from salt flat habitats in the southwestern United States and Mexico, where it occupies unvegetated sandy areas near water edges. The subspecies exhibits specific microhabitat preferences that allow coexistence with other tiger beetle species through resource partitioning. Adult emergence is triggered by summer monsoonal rains, limiting its active period to a relatively short post-monsoonal season.
