Covered in Tiny Emeralds, Pt. 3 - _TNY_4656

Another one of the absolutely gorgeous green-socks peacock beetles (Elaphrus riparius) which run around (seriously running around) on the sand banks in the Mjällådalen nature reserve near Härnösand, Sweden.

 

In this shot, the equally green mandibles show pretty well.
