EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bob Gibbons, we witness the secret lives of nature's stealthy predators. At the crack of dawn, while most creatures are still rubbing their sleepy eyes, these fascinating Ascalaphids gather for an early morning rendezvous on a hoary plantain in the picturesque grasslands of France. With their delicate lacewing relatives nearby, it seems like they've formed an exclusive club where only the most skilled hunters are allowed entry. These single-minded insects have mastered the art of roosting and patiently await their next prey to wander into their territory. As daylight gradually illuminates the field, revealing dew-kissed blades of grass and vibrant wildflowers dancing in harmony with gentle breezes, our little predatory heroes stand tall and proud. Their presence adds an intriguing touch to this European landscape as they become guardians against unwanted pests that threaten these precious plants. Capturing this remarkable moment requires both skill and patience from photographer Bob Gibbons. His lens transports us into a miniature world where even tiny insects can command attention with their unique beauty and purposeful existence. So let your imagination take flight as you gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot – envision yourself joining these extraordinary creatures on their daily adventure through fields teeming with life!
