EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Bernard Castelein, we witness a truly enchanting moment of nature's love story. Against the picturesque backdrop of Klein Schietveld in Brasschaat, Belgium, two small emerald spreadwings engage in an intimate act of mating. These delicate creatures, belonging to the odonata family, showcase their vibrant green bodies and intricate wings as they come together in perfect harmony. The male and female pair exhibit remarkable sexual dimorphism, with each displaying unique characteristics that make them irresistibly attractive to one another. As they delicately intertwine their bodies mid-air, it becomes evident that these tiny insects possess a profound understanding of courtship rituals. Their synchronized movements and graceful postures highlight not only their instinctual behavior but also the beauty found within even the tiniest corners of our natural world. Bernard Castelein's expert photography captures this extraordinary display with precision and artistry. Through his lens, we are transported into a realm where every detail matters – from the subtle hues on their wings to the tender connection between these mesmerizing creatures. So let us celebrate this magical encounter between two small emerald spreadwings as they embark on a journey filled with passion and new beginnings. May their love inspire us all to appreciate the wonders that exist right beneath our feet!
