EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Frank Greenaway showcases the delicate beauty of white orchid petals, while also revealing the hidden presence of a female Orchid Mantis. With its pale wings and petal-like flaps on its legs, this remarkable insect expertly camouflages itself amongst the flowers. Its large compound eyes provide it with keen vision, allowing it to spot potential prey or threats in its surroundings. The Orchid Mantis possesses an aggressive nature, aided by its extra-large front legs that are specifically designed for gripping flower stems and tightly holding onto prey. This image captures the essence of this fascinating creature as it blends seamlessly into its environment. In this studio shot, we witness the incredible camouflage abilities of this mantis species. The intricate details of both the orchid petals and the insect itself are impeccably captured by Greenaway's lens. The composition highlights not only the unique characteristics of these creatures but also their symbiotic relationship with their natural habitat. As one animal among many insects, invertebrates, and arthropods found in nature, the Orchid Mantis belongs to a family known as Hymenopodidae. Scientifically referred to as Hymenopus coronatus or flower mantids, these animals exhibit extraordinary adaptations for survival. Frank Greenaway's photograph is a testament to his skillful artistry and his ability to capture rare moments in nature's tapestry. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary scenes lies an abundance of wonder waiting to be discovered
