Te velike in zanimive Lycidae hrošči (Lycus fernandezi) je bilo v izobilju v jugovzhodni Arizoni pred nekaj tedni. Nenehno, ki leti med cvetje in vlažnem pesku so bili zaradi česar za enostavno fotografiranje ciljev. Pomislil sem “Tukaj je odlična priložnost, da ujeti hrošča vzletanje!”.
Počakaj…

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!
