Cicindela (Calomera) littoralis, commonly known as the littoral tiger beetle, is a species of Tiger Beetle found across the Palearctic realm, especially around the Mediterranean and Black seas. One of its subspecies, Calomera littoralis nemoralis, was the first member of the Cicindelidae family to exhibit vegetarian feeding behaviour, having been observed feeding on maize and cooked pasta in large numbers.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Littoral Tiger Beetle sighting in Camargue on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 15th most-seen of the 75 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March to May
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Littoral Tiger Beetle in Camargue on a given day, against under 5% in July and October–February, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Littoral Tiger Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Camargue, in our data
Camargue is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Littoral Tiger Beetle sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Littoral Tiger Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Camargue (19 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
