    This looks like a tiger beetle to me.

    I checked all kinds of Carabidae and some others but couldn't find a match. It is either very rare or I'm not looking at the right place. The spots sure look unusual.

        Great, that looks similar but not the same. Here I found a list of Portugese species but there are no photos for them.

          Yes! I know that list, and believe me that is quite incomplete.. It has been a great effort to complete species files from that database. Thank you so much for your research, too! cheers* Posted 9 years ago
