Haec magna et interesting Lycidae scarabei (Lycus fernandezi) abundavit in meridie orientalem turpis pauci weeks ago. Crebro fugientes inter flores et humidum harena, in quam ibant facilisis consequat peltas. Mecum cogitavi, “Hic capere occasionem sustulit talpæ!”.

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!

(Nice shot :))
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!
