Festive Tiger Beetle, back, Badlands,Pennington Co, SD_2013-12-31-135527 ZS PMax_11674522823_o Cicindela scutellaris - the Festive Tiger Beetle, found on top of a butte in Badlands National Park that had ancient windblown sand at its crest, very different from the rest of the gumbo soils of the park. Here this sand specialist can build its long burrows. Experimenting with using Black Velvet as a background ... seems to gain me a few more black pixes as compared to Black Felt, also used a white card to reflect light back up on the underside of the specimen. Canon Mark II 5D, Zerene Stacker, 65mm Canon MP-E 1-5X macro lens, Twin Macro Flash, , ISO 100, Shutter Speed 200, link to a .pdf of our set up is located in our profil Festive Tiger Beetle, back, Badlands,Pennington Co, ZS PMax
