Saw this wee crittur sunning himself on a rock today.........................any idea what it is......?

Hi, how's it going

Now, I reckon that's the Green Tiger beetle (Cicindela campestris).

Your observation was exactly right; they're fond of sunning themselves on the ground or on rocks.

Hope that helps
