Six-Spotted Tiger Beetles Copulating © 2005 Daniel W. Reed    There is a stock image available in the form of a 23,892,872 byte TIFF. This JPG is 213,590 bytes. These attractive beetles were constantly moving about making photography difficult. Only when they began to copulate did they remain still. This didn't last long though for while still attached to the male the female chased an ant across the rock, caught and ate it.
