Cicindela sylvicola Dejean, 1822
Specimen was captured in July 1996 in the Ardennes region, France.
I've used the focus-stack technique, DIY hardware only (a Raspberry HQ cam controlled by a Raspberry Pi 3, an old Pentax-m 50mm f1.7 lens, some extension tubes, and a $30 linear rail from Aliexpress)
