The image is a photograph of a tiger beetle on a sandy surface. The beetle is facing towards the right side of the image and appears to be in the center of the frame. It has a dark brown body with a metallic sheen, and its legs are long and thin. The body of the beetle is covered in small white spots, and it has two antennae on either side of its head. The background is blurred, but it seems to be a desert-like environment with small rocks and pebbles scattered around. The date "September 6, 2008 Rio Blanco Lake" is written in the top right corner of the photograph.
