Today I've witnessed my first bilateral form of Cicindela campestris ! It is said to be rare !
I love picturing Cicindela which are splendid insects but not that easy to come close to.
Typical Cicindela campestris are green like this one, that I met near Tressé in Brittany.

In the same path, I see a splendid specimen with a turquoise left elytra and a green right elytra. First time I met such a bilateral form !
