Green Tiger Beetle

I've seen Green Tiger Beetle on Brean Down a few years ago but never on Sand Point until today. I found this individual on the footpath near the point seemingly hunting for food. Their prey is said to be ants and spiders and other insects small enough to drag down into it's burrow. I watched it attack a woodlouse at one stage the rest of the time it lay in wait.
