Festive tiger beetle. Macrophotograph of a festive tiger beetle (Cicindela scutellaris). Tiger beetles are voracious predators, as their large pointed mandibles suggest. This species is found along woodland paths in North America. Photographed by the USGS Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab: an organisation dedicated to identifying, cataloguing and monitoring bees and other insect species.
