Tiger beetles
are a large group of beetles, known for their aggressive predatory habits and running speed. The fastest known species of tiger beetle, Rivacindela hudsoni, can run at a speed of 9 km/h (5.6 mph; 2.5 m/s), or about 125 body lengths per second. As of 2005, about 2,600 species and subspecies were known, with the richest diversity in the Oriental (Indo-Malayan) region, followed by the Neotropics. While historically considered as a subfamily of ground beetles (Carabidae) under the name Cicindelinae, recent genomic studies indicate that they should be considered a distinct family, the Cicindelidae, as the sister group to Carabidae within the Adephaga.This spectacular photo won the 10th place at the 2022 Photomicrography Competition. It was taken by photographer Murat Öztürk (Ankara, Turkey) through the technique of image stacking and magnification 3.7X (Objective Lens Magnification).
A photomicrograph (or micrograph) is a photograph or digital image taken through a microscope or similar device to present a magnified image of an object.
