Entomoplasma is a mollicute bacteria genus. Entomoplasma freundtii (now a member of the genus Williamsoniiplasma) can be isolated from the green tiger beetle (Cicindela campestris, Coleoptera: Cicindelidae).{{cite journal| pmid=9828421| year=1998| last1=Tully| first1=JG| last2=Whitcomb| first2=RF| last3=Hackett| first3=KJ| last4=Williamson| first4=DL| last5=Laigret| first5=F|last6=Carle| first6=P|last7=Bove| first7=JM|last8=Henegar| first8=RB|last9=Ellis|first9=NM|last10=Dodge|first10=DE|last11=Adams|first11=J|title=Entomoplasma freundtii sp. nov., a new species from a green tiger beetle (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae)| volume=48|pages=1197–1204|journal=International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology|doi=10.1099/00207713-48-4-1197|issue=4|doi-access=free}}
