EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Kim Taylor and Jane Burton from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are presented with a mesmerizing moment of nature's transformation. A locust, belonging to the orthoptera family, is captured clinging onto a delicate blade of grass as it spreads its magnificent wings. The image beautifully portrays the development and growth of this remarkable insect. The locust's antennae stand tall, sensing its surroundings in perfect harmony with its environment. Through this studio shot, we witness the metamorphosis taking place before our eyes - shedding skin to reveal a new form ready for flight. As one animal among countless others in the vast world of insects, this desert locust named schistocerca gregaria represents both resilience and adaptability. Its ability to cling onto such a slender blade of grass showcases strength and determination amidst challenging circumstances. The vibrant green hues of the grass provide an exquisite backdrop against which these intricate details come alive. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in seemingly barren landscapes like deserts, life thrives in unexpected ways. Kim Taylor and Jane Burton have masterfully captured not only the beauty but also the fragility of these fascinating creatures known as grasshoppers or locusts. Through their lens, they invite us into an enchanting world where arthropods reign supreme – reminding us once again that every living being has its own unique story worth exploring and cherishing.
