Miranda Macquitty: A Captivating World of Insects Step into the enchanting world of Miranda Macquitty, where Coleoptera sp. Metallic beetles shimmer like precious gems and Spider-hunting wasps masterfully weave their intricate webs. With her keen eye for detail, she captures the delicate beauty of Pyrrhosoma nymphula, a large red damselfly gracefully dancing on water lilies. In her exploration, Macquitty encounters Formica rufa, wood ants tirelessly building their empire with unwavering determination. She marvels at Raphidia sp. , a snakefly with its slender body and elegant wings that seem to defy gravity. And then there is Pseudorhyssa sp. , an ichneumon fly female whose long ovipositor strikes fear into the hearts of unsuspecting hosts. Macquitty's lens zooms in on sawfly larvae devouring a leaf with voracious appetites, reminding us of nature's constant cycle of consumption and renewal. Panorpa communis, a scorpion fly with its peculiar tail resembling a menacing stinger, adds an element of intrigue to her collection. But it is Melolontha melolontha that steals the show as mating cockchafer beetles engage in an elaborate courtship ritual under moonlit skies. Their synchronized movements symbolize love and unity within the insect kingdom. The vibrant hues and rhythmic chirping of Acrididae grasshoppers bring life to Macquitty's photographs as they leap through meadows filled with wildflowers. Dytiscus marginalis emerges from murky waters like an aquatic predator - the great diving beetle showcasing both grace and power simultaneously. And finally, Staphylinus olens makes its presence known; this devil's coach horse beetle exudes confidence as it prowls through decaying logs in search of prey. Through Miranda Macquitty's lens, we are transported into a world where insects reign supreme.
