EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic presence of a European hornet perched on a mirror, showcasing its intricate details and fierce nature. The European hornet, scientifically known as Vespa crabro, is the largest wasp species found in Europe. In this particular shot taken in Dorset, UK during August, the vibrant winged creature stands out against the reflective surface. The image beautifully showcases the wild life of Britain's fauna and highlights the venomous yet fascinating characteristics of this aggressive insect. With its predatory instincts and stinging capabilities, it exemplifies both power and danger within the realm of zoology. Every aspect of this photograph has been meticulously captured by Colin Varndell - from the hornet's compound eyes to its single leg - providing an up-close look at its biological features. The attention to detail extends to even capturing minute elements such as antenna and wings. As we admire this stunning portrayal of nature's wonders, let us appreciate not only the beauty but also acknowledge how these creatures play vital roles in our ecosystem. This image serves as a reminder that even seemingly small arthropods like European hornets contribute significantly to our environment through their interactions with other organisms. Colin Varndell's expertise in entomology shines through his work once again with this remarkable depiction of one of England's most intriguing insects – an extraordinary testament to both artistry and scientific curiosity.
