The image is a photograph of a tiger 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 long, slender body with a black and white striped pattern on its body. Its head is a dark brown color with a red stripe running down the center. Its antennae are long and thin, and its legs are black. The background is blurred, but it seems to be a dry, desert-like environment with some dried leaves and twigs scattered around. The date "August 1, 2009 Rio Blanco Lake" is visible in the top right corner of the photograph.
