EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of a millipede curled into a perfect spiral. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the mesmerizing details of this ancient arthropod, showcasing its delicate exoskeleton and numerous legs in stunning clarity. Millipedes, belonging to the class Myriapoda, are fascinating creatures that have roamed our planet for millions of years. This particular species belongs to the family Julidae and is known as Julus. Its elongated body is adorned with countless segments, each housing pairs of tiny legs that enable it to crawl gracefully across various terrains. The photograph not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of this millipede but also highlights its significance in paleontology and earth sciences. Fossils of these remarkable creatures provide valuable insights into prehistoric ecosystems and help scientists understand Earth's history. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the incredible diversity found within our natural world. Invertebrates like millipedes play an essential role in maintaining ecological balance by decomposing organic matter and enriching soil fertility. Steve Gorton's skillful photography brings forth an appreciation for these often-overlooked crawlies, revealing their hidden beauty through his lens. This print serves as a reminder that even small organisms can hold immense fascination when observed up close.
