EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bob Gibbons, we witness the ultimate game of hide-and-seek in the wild. Meet the cunning Parasitic Tachinid fly, a dipteran mastermind that has found its unsuspecting host – an innocent Angelica plant – to carry out its parasitic mission. With stealth and precision, this tiny fly targets lepidoptera larvae as their unfortunate victims. As if straight out of a spy movie, it infiltrates their ranks and lays its eggs on them, ensuring a future generation of tachinid flies at the expense of these unsuspecting caterpillars. But don't be fooled by its sinister intentions! This incredible photograph also showcases the delicate beauty of nature. The vibrant flowers surrounding our sneaky protagonist add a touch of elegance to this otherwise devious scene. It reminds us that even in the world of parasites and predation, there is still room for breathtaking splendor. So next time you stumble upon an Angelica plant or spot a fluttering tachinid fly nearby, take a moment to appreciate the intricate web of life unfolding before your eyes. Nature always finds fascinating ways to surprise us with its wonders – even when it involves covert operations orchestrated by insects like our little dipteran friend here!
