Very Very Close - _TNY_4892
I managed four visits to the Mjällådalen nature reserve near Härnösand, Sweden in 2023. On the third of those, me and my son went looking for more peacock beetles (and found some as well). But also, we came across another one of the Bembidion litorale ground beetles which I had mistaken for peacock beetles the previous time.
The photo is taken almost as close as is possible with my equipment - at 4.8:1 magnification so this is an uncropped 50 megapixel photo of the just 6 mm / .24" long beetle.
For a shot (at less magnification) of the one I found the previous visit, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53039100183/
