A Lophyra species tiger beetle, one of a large group of insectivorous beetles found throughout the world. Both adults and larvae are predatory. The latter live in cylindrical burrows and will capture prey that wanders above the ground. Some species can run at a speed of 8 km/h (5 mph), making them the fastest running land animals for their size.Photo: Muhammad Mahdi Karim
