Metallic Mandibles - _TNY_2212
As we have had a couple of days of good weather now and I had some time to spare, I headed over to Tyresta by and the main entrance to the Tyresta National Park in search of green tiger beetles (Cicindela campestris).
While it was quite windy, once you got down to their level, a quarter of a centimeter above the ground, it wasn't much of an issue.
There were plenty of beetles there and I mainly shot them using the MP-E65mm so it was all close work.
If you crave more tiger beetle photos - here's an album with 50+ high-res shots of them: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/albums/72157719182564816
