Image of Cicindela (Cicindela) tranquebarica Herbst 1806

Description:

Metallic green arthropod. At first I thought it jumped like a grasshopper, but it's possible I just noticed its shiny color while watching grasshoppers jump in the same stretch of meadowside trail. Or maybe it was flying short distances, giving an appearance similar to jumping from a distance? It struck me as having a beetleish color, but I had no idea of what it was until magnifying the photo at home. Wet meadow wildlife habitat.
