Hybrid dune tiger beetle (Cicindela Hybrida)

Although looking plain brown and white at first sight, when getting close you can see iridising spots covering the beetle his back.

These tiger beetles where very common, but difficult to photograph. They where very shy and instantly flying far away as soon as you came within 1m or so. I took some time to approuch this one so it got more used to me and finally let me come within macro distance.
