EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Kim Taylor and Jane Burton captures the intricate beauty of nature. Set against a pristine white background, we are presented with a close-up view of a plant covered in cuckoo spit from the Froghopper or Spittlebug nymph (Philaenus spumarius). The delicate green stems and leaves serve as the perfect canvas for this fascinating phenomenon. Intriguingly, perched on one of the nearby stems is a tiny greenfly, adding an extra layer of interest to this already mesmerizing composition. This image showcases not only the symbiotic relationship between different organisms but also highlights their interconnectedness within the ecosystem. The attention to detail in this studio shot is remarkable; every aspect from the sap-filled stem to the translucent cuckoo spit excreted by these nymphs is beautifully captured. It offers us a glimpse into the world of entomology, allowing us to appreciate even the smallest creatures that inhabit our planet. Without any human presence, this photograph solely focuses on showcasing nature's wonders. Through its vertical orientation and emphasis on flora and insects, it transports us into an enchanting realm where larva metamorphose into adult froghoppers while aphids seek shelter among verdant foliage. Kim Taylor and Jane Burton's collaboration has resulted in an extraordinary piece that celebrates wildlife at its most intriguing stage - capturing both our curiosity and admiration for these often overlooked inhabitants of our natural world.
