Jackpot! - _TNY_8309
So it is early September, which around Stockholm Sweden means autumn has arrived and the number of insects out and about have dropped significantly.
On a walk out in the forst near our home together with my family I still naturally brought the camera as you never know.
Apart from a few spiders and not much else, the trip was coming to an end without anything really interesting, plus the weather looked like it was gonna take a serious turn for the worse with dark clouds looming.
And that's when I saw the familiar green glisten of a green tiger beetle (Cicindela campestris) on the path in front of us!
The usual crawling and walking on my knees followed - but this one wonderfully enough decided to pause and pose a little bit for me and I ended up with this shot which quite possibly is my favourit of 2020!
Oh, and we got back just as the heavens opened with a massive rain.
