The northeastern beach tiger beetle is one of the physically larger subspecies of Cicindela dorsalis with a body length if roughly 12–17 millimetres (0.47–0.67 in). Its hardened forewings, also called elytra, acquire varying shades of white and tan. The northeastern beach tiger beetle has wings hidden under these elytra.
The pale coloration provides camouflage for the beetle on the light sand. [7] The larvae are grub-like, with long, segmented bodies and large jaws similar to those of adults.

The beetles' glands store enough hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide to allow the beetle to release its chemical spray roughly 20 times. In some cases this is enough to kill a predator. [6] The main component of the beetle spray is 1,4-benzoquinone, an irritant to the eyes and the respiratory system of vertebrates.
This beetle forms aggregations of several individuals, often with beetles of the genus Brachinus. [2] When disturbed it releases a volatile that contains undecane . [ 2 ] Its coloration may be aposematic mimicry of the similarly colored Brachinus beetles it lives with, which emit a much more powerful antipredator volatile mix.
The entry for Habroscelimorpha dorsalis dorsalis offers a detailed account of the beetle's taxonomy, distribution, and physical characteristics, notably its mimicry of fire ants for defense. However, it lacks essential information regarding various behavioral aspects such as social interactions, mating behavior, and parental care.
