Huber's Tiger Beetle
Cicindela patruela huberi is a subspecies of the northern barred tiger beetle, described by Johnson in 1989. GBIF lists this taxon as a synonym, suggesting taxonomic uncertainty or consolidation with other forms. The parent species C. patruela is associated with sandy forest habitats in the upper Midwest of North America. This subspecific epithet honors an individual named Huber, likely in recognition of contributions to tiger beetle study.
