[Maine-birds] Re: OT: mudflat insects

Bruce - I have to think you're seeing Tiger Beetles.  Popham  has a healthy populatipn. 
Glad you were able to get in early this morning.  I was there later and had to leave.  Not only abundant humanoids, but now they're flying kites over the shorebird loafing zone. 
Come on Labor Day!!

Anyone know what the black and white arthopods (I assume they are insects) that walk around on mud flats are called?  I noticed them this morning at Popham Beach, but strangely have never paid attention.  They almost look like inch-long black and white moths crawling around on the ground, except they have very large eyes, and mandibles as well.
