THE BLUE GEM

in photography •  4 years ago 

One day ... on a small path that leads through the woods ...
(Enlargeable)
... I came across this beautiful shiny beetle.

I think this is the platycerus caraboides, a smaller relative of the European stag beetle ... but I'm not sure.

as always, the photographs are made by me.

He looks like a stag beetle! But ours are much bigger with two big arms for catching preys.

Nice Blue Gem photography.
