That's a really nice shot. Wa
That's a really nice shot. Way to go!

How did you manage to spot those larvae? There lots of tiger beetles where I live, and I'd really like to photograph them in action, but I've never been able to spot one of the larvae in its burrow.

Neat!
Not sure, but this may be better off in the tiger beetles section of the guide. Nice shot!
