The image is a close-up photograph of a tiger beetle on a sandy surface. The beetle is facing towards the right side of the image and its body is covered in green and black stripes. Its legs are long and thin, and its antennae are visible. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a desert-like environment with small rocks and pebbles scattered around. The date "August 28, 2008" is written in the top left corner of the photograph.
