^{Cicindela aurulenta, is a scientific name known to experts, while in common language people often know it as the spotted tiger beetle.

^{At a glance about the tiger beetle or Cicindela aurulenta}

In general, these beetles make nests in the ground, meaning they make nests in the ground to make it easier for them to hunt insects, when they get a victim, the victim is quickly put in a hole in the ground.

When compared with other species, both insects and beetles, including very agile and aggressive animals, the speed of jumping in a habitat is extraordinary, this is influenced by the speed of the feet and assisted by wing movements that are difficult to see clearly, or can be detected clearly with the eye humans, unless they see it using certain tools.

Agility in moving from one point to another is also influenced by soil conditions which often resemble several colors on some parts of his body. So it is difficult to detect the speed in moving. Moreover, he is often in the open, precisely above ground level, the brown color that he has also almost resembles the surface of the ground, so it becomes the thing mentioned above.

Personally saw it was above ground level, but today, saw it was above leaf surface. This character is rarely seen above the leaf surface because it prefers to be above ground level.

Meeting him at this location, is an accidental encounter in houseplants. The assumption is there is no way they like this location. Because this beetle is often above the ground. If on land it will be very difficult to see because of the influence of the color of some parts of the body whose surface is almost the same, but when on the leaves, the color of the body is very clearly visible, this is influenced by striking and contrasting colors, or clashing with cross colors.

So, have the opportunity to take some bright photos, although be careful in this activity, because this beetle is very anti-sudden movement. In addition, it detects large shadows, making it easier for them to move to another location.

For a clearer view of today's activities, in a location, you can see it below.

Those are some pictures that were successfully photographed using a personal camera, even though they don't have a macro lens, but the results are like having the device, because they shoot at close range.
