Here's a few tiger beetles for this #butterflyday by @whatisnew
Here is Herman the beat cop Tiger Beetle. He is the law enforcement wing of this neighborhood. If you break the law in his sector he will literally take a bite out of crime.
Sometimes he sets up a speed trap up in the grass blades. This is a great way of meeting his monthly quota of tickets.
Whoa something just passed by me at over 1000 butterflymeters per minute?! All I saw was a black and white blur. Oh well it was not on the ground so its outta my jurisdiction.
Meanwhile Jenna the hornet has made it in time to Applebees for happy hour. Never get between a girl and her hard apple cider.
Herman has just spotted the earthworm gang. They are heavily armed and have wiped out many of his colleagues over the year.
Herman had to call in air support for this high priority target. The earthworm gangs on this side of town require heavy firepower.
Now Herman has to search for any weapons or drugs the earthworm gang might have hidden in the aftermath of their arrest.
Well it was an exciting day for Herman and he escaped the wrath of the earthworm gang thanks to some aerial swat support. Now its time to go home to the wife.
Happy #butterflyday

Wow, these are really nice tiger beetles photos.
Very colorful but they are fast and hard to take pictures of.

HAHAHAHA! ROFLMAO!!! Herman and Jenna are quite the characters, in more ways than one. 1000 butterflymeters?!?! OMG!!! And look at those awesome shadows Herman gave you. Amazing photos as usual and a joy to read. I was laughing so hard that my cat was worried something was wrong with me. LOL!
Jenna didn't even care that the camera was inches away. Fortunately for me... to get shots of herman i had to use a zoom lens, they fly off too easily for macro.
