They're definitely hard to sneak up on. Nice capture.

Awesome, thank you! He was very fast, I chased him around piles of driftwood until I finally snapped this picture.

Hi Edwin. Nice spotting. This is definitely some kind of Tiger beetle, but I don't know the species. I'll look further to see if I can find it, but in the meantime here is a link that might also help. http://bugguide.net/node/view/375
