EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Colin Varndell showcases a mesmerizing moment in nature - two Common darter dragonflies engaged in the act of mating. Native to Eurasia and one of Europe's most prevalent dragonfly species, these winged creatures were beautifully captured on Studland Heath, Dorset, UK, during the month of August. The image highlights the intricate details of both male and female dragonflies as they rest with their wings spread wide. Dragonflies are fascinating insects belonging to the order Odonata and play an essential role in our ecosystem as predators. With their carnivorous nature, they serve as efficient hunters, keeping insect populations in check. This duo represents a prime example of sexual reproduction within this biological group. Colin Varndell's skillful photography allows us to appreciate the delicate beauty and complexity found within these arthropods. The vibrant colors and graceful forms displayed by these Common darters truly capture the essence of British wildlife.
