Description

Found this beauty drowning in a river in Brasil. I saved it and do you think it appreciated it ??. Nope, I had to chase it all over the place for 20 minutes to get just one decent image. Oh, and it was a biggun too.

Excellent close-up. Very detailed, right down to the "hair" on it's legs. Worth the chase.

Most excellent shot and I'm sure he is grateful. I save drowning bugs and they always look back for just an instant and their on their way.

A camera-shy beetle? Who would have thought? Excellent capture, and it was worth the effort, I think. :o)
