EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of an Orange Mantis Shrimp peering from its burrow in the Solomon Islands. The vibrant orange coloration of this spearing species, scientifically known as Lysiosquilloides mapia, stands out against the pristine white beach backdrop. As a member of the arthropod and crustacean family, this invertebrate showcases its unique features through its compound eyes and front view. Taken by photographer Steve Jones, this close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this underwater creature's body structure. With its menacing spear-like appendages ready for action, it exemplifies both beauty and danger that coexist within marine life. The Russell Islands in Melanesia provide a perfect habitat for these mantis shrimps to thrive on the ocean floor. Their ability to hide within their burrows is crucial for survival as they navigate their surroundings with precision and agility. As we admire this image, we are reminded of the diverse animal behavior found beneath our oceans' surface. This photograph serves as a testament to nature's wonders and invites us into a world where animals like mantis shrimps play essential roles in maintaining ecological balance.
