EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the life of a bush cricket. In the heart of Yasuni National Park, nestled within the lush Amazon rainforest in Ecuador, this incredible scene unfolds. The bush cricket, belonging to the Tettigoniidae family, is shedding its old skin as part of its natural growth process. The intricate details showcased in this photograph highlight the delicate beauty of nature's wonders. With a backdrop of vibrant foliage and an abundance of life surrounding it, this single insect takes center stage. Its transformation from one exoskeleton to another symbolizes renewal and rebirth. As we delve into the world of zoology and entomology through this image, we are reminded of the immense biodiversity found within South America's tropical paradise. The Amazon rainforest serves as a haven for countless species like these bush crickets that thrive amidst its dense vegetation. Through ecdysis or molting, this South American arthropod sheds its old skin to make way for growth and development. This biological phenomenon showcases nature's ability to adapt and evolve over time. Dr Morley Read has masterfully captured this fleeting moment with precision and artistry. His lens transports us deep into Ecuadorian wilderness where every corner teems with wildlife waiting to be discovered. In essence, this print encapsulates not only the beauty but also the scientific significance behind each creature that calls Yasuni National Park home - reminding us once again why preserving our precious ecosystems is crucial for future generations.
