EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by Alan Weaving, we witness a remarkable duel between two extraordinary creatures. Meet ASW-4874, the elusive Owl Fly or Long-horned Antlion, taking a well-deserved daytime siesta in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape of South Africa. With its characteristic long clubbed antennae proudly on display, this neuroptera species is known for being an expert predator. But wait! Look closely at the corner of the frame - there's a hawk flying insect prey at dusk! This daring Hawk has chosen to challenge our sleepy protagonist during twilight hours when it's most active. Will ASW-4874 rise from its slumber to defend itself? Or will it remain blissfully unaware of the impending danger? This photograph perfectly captures nature's thrilling drama unfolding before our eyes. It reminds us that even in seemingly ordinary moments like resting or hunting for food, wildlife surprises us with their incredible adaptations and survival strategies. So next time you stumble upon an antlion or spot a hawk soaring through the sky, remember this epic encounter frozen in time by Alan Weaving. Nature never ceases to amaze us with its wonders – both big and small – right here in beautiful South Africa!
