Takashi Kanazawa’s Tiger Beetle is Challenge 71 from Issue 127. This is a fantastic beetle. Mine’s not as good as Kanazawa’s (of course), but I think it looks good. I hope you can see the cute face.

It has bug eyes, thorny mandibles, and antennas!

I also used a special paint that shifts shades in light. It’s really subtle. I took a video, but it looks like I can’t post it here. It didn’t really show it that well anyway.
