Cicindela columbica is a species of beetle in the tiger beetle family, Cicindelidae, known commonly as the Columbia River tiger beetle. It is endemic to Idaho in the United States.[1][2]
This beetle lives on sand bars and river beaches, especially near dunes, hunting and consuming smaller arthropods. The larvae are also predatory, hiding in sand burrows for prey. Damming of the rivers has affected water levels, inundating their river bank habitat and causing widespread loss of populations.[1]
