EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Richard Becker, we witness a fascinating moment of transformation in the heart of Powys, Wales. A tiny Marmalade Hoverfly pupa delicately clings to a leaf, as if it's whispering secrets to the surrounding wilderness. With its vibrant orange and black stripes resembling a jar of tangy marmalade, this little critter adds a touch of sweetness to the British summer. As July unfolds, nature unveils its hidden wonders for all to admire. This enchanting image transports us into the magical world of European wildlife. The lush greenery provides an ideal backdrop for these hoverflies' remarkable life cycle. From egg to larva and now pupa stage, our protagonist prepares for its grand debut as an adult hoverfly. As we marvel at this arthropod's incredible journey, let us appreciate the intricate beauty that lies within our own backyards. These small creatures remind us that even in the tiniest corners of our world, there is always something extraordinary waiting to be discovered. So next time you take a stroll through Powys or any other corner of Wales, keep your eyes peeled for these delightful hoverflies gracefully dancing among flowers and leaves. Who knows what other surprises await?
