Copper, Green Edition - _TNY_8194
A shot of a wonderfully green form of the copper peacock beetle (Elaphrus cupreus) shot at 2.7:1 magnification on a sand bank in the Mjällån river through the Mjällådalen Nature Reserve.
There are six species of peacock beetles in Sweden and so far I have shot two of them. But there are also quite significant variation in colour so if you check out my peacock beetle album here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/albums/72177720309780234 - you'll find about 30 shots (at the time of posting) with a lot of varying colours.
