This insect (Cicindela japonica) was incredibly difficult to photograph. It lives in swampland under trees and is only active during the hottest parts of summer. It is difficult to approach, and as you get close will depart only to fly further down the path to observe you again (which is where its nickname of "michi oshie" or "trail guide" comes from). I only had a cheap 100mm macro lens (F3.5). This was the best image I could capture. Many people think it is unreal, but it is not. This is the Japanese Tiger Beetle (ナミハンミョウ)
