EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA's talented photographer Bob Gibbons, we witness the sophisticated palate of a Common Earwig (Forficula auricularia) adult female in action. This charming insect from Dorset, England is indulging in a leafy feast fit for royalty during the delightful month of August. With its dainty mandibles delicately nibbling on the verdant foliage, our elegant earwig showcases her refined taste and impeccable table manners. Who would have thought that such tiny creatures could possess such culinary finesse? As she gracefully perches on the leaf, surrounded by the lush English countryside, it becomes clear that even insects appreciate nature's bountiful offerings. The vibrant green hues create an enchanting backdrop for this moment of pure gastronomic delight. This image reminds us to take a closer look at the wonders unfolding around us every day. It serves as a gentle reminder that even in our busy lives, there is always time to savor life's simple pleasures – just like this discerning earwig relishing her leafy treat. So next time you stumble upon an unsuspecting earwig enjoying its meal amidst nature's beauty, remember to pause and appreciate these small but fascinating moments. After all, who knows what other hidden treasures await our curious eyes if we simply take the time to observe and enjoy?
