Cicindela albissima
''Cicindela albissima'', commonly called the Coral Pink Sand Dunes tiger beetle is a species of tiger beetle endemic to Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park in southern Utah, United States.〔 It was originally described by Rumpp in 1962 as the subspecies ''Cicindela limbata albissima'', but mitochondrial DNA, along with the species' morphological and geographical distinctiveness, have shown that it is a separate species.〔 ''C. albissima'' can be distinguished from other ''Cicindela'' species by its restricted range and lack of pigmentation on its elytra.〔
==Adults==
Adults are to long and to wide, while females are generally larger than males. The thorax is brown to bronze in color, while the elytra have reduced pigmentation and are white in color. Adults primarily eat flies and other arthropods found on the dunes. They also scavenge on dead arthropods blown onto the dunes from surrounding habitats.〔
Adults begin to emerge from the larval stage in March and reach their peak abundance in mid-April to early May. Adult populations decline through June and disappear by July. Mating and egg laying occur from the time adults emerge in mid-March until they die by July.〔 Some adults can be continue to be found from late August to early October.
Adults are usually active on warm or sunny days. They dig burrows that they use at night and during unfavorable weather. Little evidence of parasitism has been observed on both adults and larvae. Throughout their lives, most adults move only small distances, typically less than , although some have been observed to move up to .〔
