Yes, it is a tiger beetle (a six spotted tiger beetle to be exact). You do not want to catch one in your hand, they bite hard!

He looks like something I'd rather not run into..........

Nice pic, though!

Anji, here's one you'll find less intimadating

anji1971 · 04-25-2008, 08:48 PM

Yup, that's definitely a more friendly looking one!!
Is that a green heron?

adamanteus · 04-25-2008, 08:57 PM

It's some kind of bird, Anji. Man, I'm, good!

Good thing I have my Sibley Field Guide to Birds...........not that I'm questioning your expertise there or anything.
