2004 Art of the Animal Kingdom IX Bennington Center for the Arts, Vermont The Beautiful Tiger Beetle is a desert dweller. At less than an inch long it scurries across the sand leaving a mysterious trail of tiny tracks. It is a dazzling insect with iridescent russet markings on its back and iridescent green legs. Beware, it is a fierce predator with formidable jaws. |
