Six-Spotted Tiger Beetle
A brilliant metallic green beetle with six white spots on its elytra. It is an agile predator commonly seen on forest paths in spring.
Did You Know?
It runs so fast while chasing prey that it temporarily goes blind and must stop to re-locate its target.
Green Baron
A forest butterfly with vivid iridescent green upperside in males, while females are brownish with white markings. It has a powerful, gliding flight pattern and rarely opens its wings when settled.
Did You Know?
The brilliant green of the male is produced by microscopic structures in the wing scales rather than by any chemical pigment.
