Tiger Beetle

The Tiger Beetle is capable of running at very high speed, covering a distance of 125 times its body length, in 1 second. They tend to rush towards their prey at great speed, but stop short to adjust their vision. It is thought that the speed, at which they run, outperforms the focal adjustment of their eyes. They also have super sensitive antennae which they point forwards, to help them avoid collisions with obstacles. No small wonder, they are called "Tigers". According to Wikipedia, these beetles usually prefer to hunt at ground level, but as can be seen in my uncropped photo, this one is well above the ground on a very tall stem of grass - perhaps a vantage point to look around.
