EDITORS COMMENTS
Nature's Tiny Superhero: Eastern Mosquitofish Devours Mosquitoes, One Bite at a Time!". In this print by Paulo de Oliveira, we witness the incredible power of the Eastern mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki. A mature female takes center stage as she fearlessly feasts on mosquito larvae at the water's surface. With her insatiable appetite for these pesky bloodsuckers, it's no wonder why she has become an international sensation! Originally hailing from tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, including North America's Atlantic and Gulf Slope drainages, this aquatic marvel has been introduced to combat mosquito populations. And boy, does she deliver! As if straight out of a superhero movie, our tiny protagonist swoops in to save the day with her voracious predation skills. But wait! In an unexpected twist captured by de Oliveira's lens, a majestic Great white shark appears to be following closely behind a kayak in another frame of this series. Could it be that even sharks are intrigued by the growing bond between humans and their finned counterparts? Join us as we dive into this enchanting world where nature showcases its wonders both big and small. From underwater adventures to invasive species control – there is never a dull moment when Mother Nature takes center stage!
