EDITORS COMMENTS
Max Barclay, entomologist at the Natural History Museum in London, holds a newly discovered Malthodes lobatus, or whitehawk soldier beetle, in this studio shot taken in Brighton, U.K. in 2003. This rare and intriguing invertebrate, belonging to the family Cantharidae and the subfamily Malthininae, was an exciting addition to the world of insects and arthropods. With its distinctive metallic green and black exoskeleton, the whitehawk soldier beetle is a striking member of the Coleoptera order, which includes beetles. The discovery of this new species, a testament to the dedication and expertise of Barclay and his team, highlights the ongoing importance of exploration and research in the field of entomology. The hexapod, or six-legged, arthropod is a vital part of the ecosystem, playing a crucial role in pollination and food chains. The whitehawk soldier beetle, with its unique features and captivating appearance, is a reminder of the diverse and fascinating world of insects and invertebrates that surrounds us. This image, showcasing the expert hands of Barclay as he carefully examines his latest find, encapsulates the spirit of discovery and the importance of preserving and understanding the natural world.
