Beetles

Six spotted green tiger beetle (Cicindela sexguttata). It flew the coupe before I could get around to the front side of it. 1st one I've captured though.






And a Soldier Beetle (Cantharis rotuundicollis) was also gone after one flash.

Jack'll do

Very nice captures Gary. Great color and detail.
