The image is a close-up photograph of a beetle on the ground. The beetle is facing towards the right side of the image and appears to be walking on a sandy surface. It has a black and white striped body with a metallic sheen, and two antennae on either side of its head. Its legs are long and thin, and its antennae are pointed upwards. The background is blurred, but it seems to be a dry, sandy ground with small rocks and pebbles scattered around. The date "August 28, 2008" is visible in the top right corner, indicating that the photo was taken at the White River at Rangely.
