Hello Everybody, My name is Joh Viljoen, and I live in Richards Bay, South Africa. I took this photo in my back yard. I know that these beetles belong to the subfamily Cicindelinae,and I believe that they belong to the genus Lophyra. However, I hope that this beetle will be one of the first in my private insect collection, so I need to try and narrow it down to species level. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you, Joh
