EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we witness a fascinating wildlife spectacle straight from the heart of Costa Rica. The scene unfolds with an army of ravenous Pentatomid nymphs feasting on their unsuspecting prey – a plump and juicy Saturniid caterpillar (Copaxa moinieri). Talk about a bug buffet! These tiny true bugs have gathered together for a delectable mealtime experience like no other. With food in their mouths and determination in their eyes, they showcase the ultimate display of mixed species dining. Who knew insects could be such adventurous eaters? As South American natives, these Hemiptera predators are well-versed in the art of hunting. Their keen instincts drive them to seek out succulent caterpillars as their preferred prey. It's survival of the fittest in action! Captured against a vibrant backdrop of lush greenery, this snapshot perfectly encapsulates nature's intricate web of life and death. While some may find it unsettling, there is beauty even in these primal moments. So next time you're feeling peckish or simply craving an unusual visual feast, let John Cancalosi's remarkable photograph transport you into the wild world where true bugs reign supreme – devouring all that comes across their path! Bon appétit!
