The Last Thing the Prey See (Cropped Version) - _TNY_2351S3C
The green tiger beetle (Cicindela campestris) is a predator, hunting primarily with its superior running speed - imagine one of these the size of a bear and it has spotted you!
Not this particular species, but another tiger beetle is actually the fastest running athropod known to man.
This is a cropped version of a previously posted shot to show you some of the detail better. For the full, uncropped one, please have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52905255874/
For a neat little video of one of these being absolutely not scared of the camera, please have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53386261414/
