EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Frank Greenaway showcases the intricate details of a Desert Locust from a side view. The image beautifully captures the essence of these remarkable creatures, highlighting their unique features and characteristics. The locust's sensitive antennae are prominently displayed, serving as its primary sensory organ to navigate through its environment. Its compound eyes, filled with vibrant colors, exhibit an alertness that is both mesmerizing and awe-inspiring. A hard collar protects its thorax while the segmented abdomen adds to its distinct appearance. One cannot help but notice the long and robust back legs adorned with sharp spines, perfectly adapted for swift movement across vast landscapes. These agile limbs enable the locust to leap great distances effortlessly. Through this studio shot, we gain insight into the world of orthoptera - a diverse group of insects that includes grasshoppers - showcasing their incredible adaptability and survival skills in harsh desert environments. Frank Greenaway's photograph not only celebrates the beauty of these invertebrates but also serves as a reminder of their vital role within our ecosystem. As members of the acrididae family, Desert Locusts play an important part in maintaining ecological balance. This stunning image offers viewers a glimpse into nature's wonders while reminding us to appreciate and respect all living creatures that share our planet.
