Hello Art,
This seems to be a popular insect at the moment and I think you're lucky to find one!
Superb macro showing all details very sharply and the metallic colours are stunning. A fine composition too!

Hi Art!

I'm really glad that my picture inspired you to take closer look at tiger beetles. This picture is really good - tiger in typical hunting pose, very sharp and detailed with well visible shinning parts of its body. I hope you had got fun observing these interesting creatures!
