EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Ulrich Reichel showcases the intricate beauty of nature's creations. The image captures the galls of the Gall Midge (Mikiola fagi) delicately attached to leaves of a Common Beech tree (Fagus sylvatica). These unique growths, formed by the interaction between insect and plant, are a testament to the fascinating symbiotic relationships found in our natural world. The close-up detail allows us to appreciate the complexity of these galls, resembling tiny spheres or pods adorning the leafy branches. The vibrant green color contrasts against the earthy tones of the beech leaves, creating a visually striking composition. In this snapshot taken during daylight hours, we witness an important stage in their development. These galls serve as protective shelters for gall midge larvae as they grow and develop into adult insects. This display of life cycles and growth is a reminder of how interconnected all living organisms are within their ecosystems. Reichel's photograph not only highlights the beauty found in even the smallest corners of our natural environment but also invites us to marvel at its diversity and intricacy. It serves as a gentle reminder that there is always something extraordinary waiting to be discovered when we take time to observe and appreciate our wild surroundings.
