Northeastern beach tiger beetle (Cincindela d. dorsalis)
Crunch crunch crunch! The sound of the sand below my feet. I need to fly away quick before I become extinct! Hi, I'm Danielle the Northeastern beach tiger beetle. I'm endangered. Can you help save my species before I'm extinct. Try to help pleeeaassee.
I'm a Beach tiger beetle. There's a lot you should know about me and my species. I and my species love the sun and most of all being in it. We live in NJ and we are endangered. Everybody keeps damaging my home and killing my species. Our diet is beach fleas, head lice, and fish. We need to move a lot just because people are stepping on us. But we need to stay near food. Also I don't give birth I lay eggs.
Come please protect me and my species. I need protection because I'm endangered and soon will become extinct. People need to stop damaging my habitat and killing my species. When people step on us we have less and less species every second. Also people need to stop polluting on the beach because we can get hurt and we can get killed if the trash falls on us and damages our wings.
Ways to help my species are…tell people to not step on my species; tell people to stop taking down our habitat, tell people that we are endangered and that we need help. Try not to kill too many fish because that's our food we eat. Also don't litter.
It's me again the Beach tiger beetle. Now I told you a lot of facts about me. Don't litter on the beach! Don't step on the Beach Tiger Beetle! Don't take down our habitat! Try not to kill too many fish because that's my food. Crunch Crunch Crunch! The sound of the crunching sand below my feet. I’m waiting for you to help.
