EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Frank Greenaway captures the intricate world of wasps in stunning detail. Against a crisp white background, we are presented with a mesmerizing sight - a wasp nest constructed with layers upon layers of papery cells. The queen, leaning over these delicate structures, appears to be attentively looking after her offspring. The image showcases the solitary nature of these industrious insects as they raise their young within this carefully built home. Some cells contain tiny larvae, highlighting the reproductive cycle and life-giving role of the queen wasp. With its round shape and sturdy construction, this nest is an impressive feat of engineering using wood pulp materials. The studio shot allows us to appreciate every minute detail - from the meticulously crafted combs to the buzzing grubs nestled within each cell. It serves as a reminder that despite their notorious reputation for stinging, wasps are remarkable creatures involved in their own unique form of reproduction and nurturing. Greenaway's photograph offers us an intimate glimpse into the hidden world of vespids – not just wasps but also hornets – showcasing their incredible ability to construct complex nests out of simple materials found in nature. This cutout image is both educational and visually striking, reminding us that even animals can create architectural wonders worthy of admiration.
