It is not just the reptiles and amphibians that I appreciate.
Growing up I was quite a "bug guy" too! Tiger Beetles (Cicindela sexguttata) are one of my favorites. They come in a variety of colors, but the green ones have always been the best!
I wish that I would have had more time to photograph this one, but they are super-fast and can fly too. Often, when they see you coming, they will take off before you ever get there. It doesn't stop me from getting close, but they still try! Here are the shots.
I hope to show you where these come from soon too, which is an adventure in itself. For a bug, the Tiger Beetle sure can be beautiful! I hope you enjoyed it!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
