The tiger beetle Cicindela oregona (see figs. 6.15 and 6.16) has a distribution that extends from Arizona through the temperate rain forests of Alaska. Why should the amounts of cuticular hydrocarbons vary geographically among populations of C. oregona? 
Figure 6.15 A tiger beetle species from a moist habitat lost water at a higher rate than one from a dry habitat (data from Hadley and Schultz 1987).
Figure 6.16 The cuticles of tiger beetles from dry habitats tend to contain a higher concentration of waterproofing hydrocarbons compared to those of tiger beetles from moist habitats (data from Hadley and Schultz 1987).
