Shooting Tigers
April 20th, 2008 by Kelley
This is probably the earliest I have seen tiger beetles out and about…but they were out hunting this weekend in my backyard and I got a couple pictures of them.

Fantastic photographs! Was it cool/were they active? I can barely capture a tiger beetle, let alone photograph one.
It was about 78 degrees and sunny. And they were quite active, only staying in their spot briefly. But the thing about tiger beetles is that they are a little territorial…so they come back to those spots every couple minutes. I just camped out with my camera for a little while and thats how I got those pictures.
