CATALÀ
La cicindela campestre (Cicindela campestris) és una espècie de coleòpter de la família Carabidae, subfamília Cicindelinae. Té una longitud de 12 a 15 mil·límetres. Freqüent en els camins de boscos, en els llindars i en les superfícies arenoses. Comença a volar en primavera però no arribar a cobrir grans distàncies per l'aire. És un depredador voraç que s'alimenta de qualsevol altre insecte, perseguint-los activament. Les larves també són depredadores; els pendents de fang i llot practiquen un orifici de diversos centímetres en l'entrada dels quals esperen a les seves preses.

ENGLISH
Cicindela campestris, commonly called the green tiger beetle is a widespread Eurasian species of tiger beetle. It is the type species of the large genus Cicindela. 
Adult[edit]
Adults are typically 12–15 millimetres (0.47–0.59 in) long. The elytra and thorax are green, varying in tone from light to dark, spotted with cream-coloured patches, and in bright sunlight are somewhat iridescent. The eyes are blackish; the legs are brown with whitish hairs. The antennae are long and straight, not clubbed.
The adults are sun-loving. They live in places with dry soils (sandy or chalky), mostly between May and October at the latitude of Britain. Like other tiger beetles, they run fast on their long legs and are most often seen on bare ground, in Britain typically on heather moorland. They can fly fast, making a loud buzzing noise. It can run at speeds of 60 cm per second.
Cicindela campestris is distributed across Europe from Spain in the southwest to Finland in the northeast. Most records are from the UK, Germany, Austria and the south of Sweden. In Britain, records are mainly from dry sandy or heathy areas such as the heathlands of Surrey, Hampshire and Dorset, and the mountains and moorlands of the Scottish Highlands.
