Þessi stóru og áhugaverðar Lycidae bjöllur (Salat Fernandez) voru algengari í suðaustanverðum Arizona fyrir nokkrum vikum síðan. Stöðugt fljúga milli blóm og röku sandi þeir voru að gera til að auðvelda ljósmyndun markmið. Ég hugsaði með mér “hér er a mikill tækifæri til að ná bjöllu taka burt!”.

If it hadn’t been 105 degrees out and I didn’t have a cloud of flies clinging to my face I would have fixed my camera settings and waited for another chance. But this is all my patience could bear – after all it’s just a beetle!

I did gain some massive respect for those tiger beetle photos of yours – those same pools of water were surrounded by thousands of tiger beetles (all the same species it looked like). I couldn’t get close to one!
