nurunuru Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Found this Japanese tiger beetle while out hiking on Miyajima. He was really flighty and flew off whenever he saw me getting too near, but I was able to sneak up close enough to take this pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Nice photo! It must have been a great prize after all of your struggle. I rember catching this species when I was in South Korea. They were pretty fast but their flying speed wasn't as fast as their running speed so I caught them while they were flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
