EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Nick Upton showcases the beauty and intricacy of nature. In this image, we see a male small red damselfly (Ceriagrion tenellum) perched delicately on a sedge stem in Creech Heath, Dorset, England. However, what makes this photograph truly fascinating is the presence of mites infesting the damselfly's body. The vibrant colors of the damselfly's wings and elongated abdomen are accentuated against the backdrop of lush greenery. The close-up view allows us to appreciate every detail, from the gossamer-like texture of its wings to the delicate petals surrounding it. This snapshot not only captures an exquisite moment in time but also serves as a reminder of how interconnected all living beings are within our natural world. It highlights both the fragility and resilience found in animal themes while showcasing one wild animal amidst its habitat. Nick Upton's expert photography skills bring forth a sense of wonder and curiosity about these often-overlooked creatures that play vital roles in maintaining ecological balance. This stunning image invites viewers to contemplate their own place within this intricate web of life.
