The image is a photograph of a tiger beetle on a dry, cracked ground. The beetle is black and white in color with a distinctive pattern of stripes on its body. It has a long, slender body with two antennae on either side of its head. Its legs are long and thin, and its antennae are pointed upwards. The background is a light brown color, and the ground appears to be dry and barren. The date "August 5, 2009 Rio Blanco Lake" is written in the top left corner of the image.
