Not One of Those Green Bugs That Eats Trees

This critter was sitting on my driveway. I took the photo with my phone. I was trying to figure out if it was an Emerald Ash Borer, but I couldn't remember the name "Emerald Ash Borer" and couldn't even remember which type of tree they eat, so I had to type in "green bug that eats trees," which actually works in Google Chrome, but takes so long to type in on a phone when you've got fat fingers that by the time I even got a search going, the bug had flown away. Thank goodness I didn't kill it, because it's not an Emerald Ash Borer at all, but a harmless (to humans and trees) Six-Spotted Green Tiger Beetle (Cicindela sexguttata).

One of these days I will get back to history.
