Chased by a Tiger - TNY_20230418_145958
Normally, getting close to green tiger beetles (Cicindela campestris) is downright tricky. They have great eyesight so they see you and promptly run away.
This one, from the edge of the parking lot at Tyresta by, in Tyresta National Park was aquite a bit different though.
I held out my phone down in front of me to film it and to my surprise, it actually kept running *towards* the camera!
For a really close portrait photoof one of these fomr the same day, please have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53385949681/
