Hi, Reader —
Lately, I've been sharing more personal reflections about photography and our relationship with the natural world. But I also wanted to return to something I love just as much: exploring the fascinating stories hidden in nature.
My latest article is about tiger beetles, remarkable little predators with an extraordinary ability to run.
But their speed comes with a surprising limitation: when they move too fast, their vision struggles to keep up. To continue chasing their prey, they have to stop, relocate it, and start running again.
It's a fascinating example of how evolution can produce an extraordinary adaptation while creating new challenges that need to be overcome.
In Too Fast to See, I explore this remarkable behavior and what it reveals about the intricate relationship between speed, perception, and survival.

Too fast to see
I have always been fascinated by tiger beetles.
They are beautiful little predators, often metallic and brightly colored, with long legs built for running.

I hope this little story gives you another reason to look more closely at the incredible lives unfolding around us.
