The Columbia Tiger Beetle, Cicindela columbica Hatch, is generally found in large, viable populations in Idaho within the lower Salmon River canyon from near Slate Creek to Eagle Creek. It was not found below Eagle Creek on the Salmon River and was found nowhere on the Snake River to Heller's Bar. It generally occupies older, well-established bars that extend back from the river sufficiently to generally not be inundated by spring runoff waters. Although the beetle is generally intraspecifically gregarious, it does share its area with four other species of tiger beetles: Cicindela oregona, C. repanda, C. hirticollis, and C. tranquebarica.
