Information on the Australian leopard beetle
The Australian tiger beetle feeds on small insects and other arthropods, which is assisted by its speed that enables it to catch prey before escaping, and it is noted on the tiger beetle that it stops several times while chasing its prey; Because its high velocity afflicts it in a state of temporary blindness, its eyes cannot collect enough photons reflected from the prey, and therefore cannot accurately determine its location, so the beetle is forced to stop and look around to locate the prey, then set off again, and so on until it is able to Catch it شركة مكافحة الصراصير بالخبر
