The Zoo Outreach Organisation (Zooreach) celebrated World Tiger Beetle Day with a virtual event honoring renowned entomologist Dr. David Pearson. The day, celebrated on Dr. Pearson’s birthday, aimed to raise awareness about these colorful predators and their importance in the ecosystem. Zooreach, along with the South Asian Invertebrate Specialist Group, organized the event to highlight the diversity of tiger beetles in India, which boasts the third highest number of species globally. The event included a talk by Dr. Pearson about his research and a discussion on the conservation efforts needed to protect these fascinating insects. Zooreach emphasized the crucial role tiger beetles play in managing insect populations, including those considered pests to crops. The organization also highlighted the discovery of rare tiger beetle species in Tamil Nadu, underscoring the need for continued research and conservation efforts to protect these “six-legged tigers.”
