The beetle lives in some of the few #PineRocklands that still exist in #MiamiDadeCounty, and there are heavy development pressures on such areas, despite them containing a variety of #EndangeredSpecies.
Here's #CenterForBiologicalDiversity's press release about it: https://biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-releases/nearly-2000-acres-of-critical-habitat-protected-for-endangered-miami-tiger-beetle-2023-05-22/
