Hierdie groot en interessante Lycidae kewers (Lycus fernandezi) was volop in suidoostelike Arizona 'n paar weke gelede. Voortdurend vlieg tussen blomme en klam sand hulle besig was om vir 'n maklike teikens fotografie. Ek het by myself gedink “hier is 'n groot geleentheid om 'n Beetle af te neem om te vang!”.
Wag vir dit…

Crap.

If it hadn’t been 105 degrees out and I didn’t have a cloud of flies clinging to my face I would have fixed my camera settings and waited for another chance. But this is all my patience could bear – after all it’s just a beetle!
Just a beetle? Blasphemer!
(Nice shot :))
I did gain some massive respect for those tiger beetle photos of yours – those same pools of water were surrounded by thousands of tiger beetles (all the same species it looked like). I couldn’t get close to one!
