EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Kim Taylor showcases the intricate beauty of a European Earwig (Forficula auricularia) from an overhead perspective. The nocturnal nature of this fascinating creature is highlighted, as it navigates its surroundings with its long, delicate antennae. The image provides a unique insight into the biology and anatomy of the European Earwig. Its square frame allows for a detailed view of this arthropod's morphology, revealing its distinct features such as pincers and cerci. These appendages are essential for their survival in their natural habitat. As crop pests, European Earwigs have gained notoriety among farmers and gardeners alike. However, through this photograph, we can appreciate their aesthetic appeal without dwelling on their potential harm to crops. The color image captures the essence of these flightless insects with remarkable clarity. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant creatures like earwigs play an important role in our ecosystem. Kim Taylor's photography skillfully portrays one individual earwig against a neutral background, allowing us to focus solely on its captivating form and structure. This print is sure to captivate anyone interested in entomology or those who simply appreciate the wonders found within our natural world.
