Sinister Lady - _TNY_0784S2
From this particular angle, this female green tiger beetle (Cicindela campestris) came out looking especially sinister. I mean, with this meancing jaws and large eyes, they have a pretty serious look to them to begin with, but there is something extra here.
This is a two-exposure focus stack since she decided to stay still and also because the new Godox V860III recharges in like an instant compared to the older unit. Photo taken near the Stenbäcken creek outlet into the Nedre Dammen pond at Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park,south of Stockholm, Sweden in mid-April of 2025.
