World Of Xpilar MACROPHOTOGRAPHY Contest Week XXIV || The Big Eyes "Tiger Beetle"

I think the tiger beetle has a spectacular body color. There are several types of tiger beetles that I have ever found, such as reddish brown, orange and the tiger beetles as like in the picture. Metallic colors that look bright and shiny, do not seem to come from absorption but from light reflections. Usually the body color of the beetle follows the area where this insect inhabits a certain area.

Sandy areas and sunny trails are among the habitats where these insects inhabit. Tiger beetles are known as reliable runners, they are fast runners and fliers who can easily catch a variety of prey. I was a little careful because the tiger beetle has a painful bite with its long, jagged jaw.

This insect has long legs and a broad face, but its body looks slender. This beetle also has a hard and slightly flat body with two small, elongated antennae. The two large and protruding eyes are the hallmark of this animal. Both eyes are able to provide a very sharp sense of vision that is different from the vision of ordinary insects.

Evidently when I take pictures, I have to race against time because this insect keeps running and I have to keep following it and moving fast. Seen the image also does not get the maximum focus on the object point. These insects really make me tired and sweaty. But it's a little better because I get these bugs on sunny trails and on sandy soil, I find it easier to follow him. Hope you like it and thanks for visiting my blog.
