EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, titled "Ailanthus / Cynthia Silkmoth - on leaves in front of the Invalides in Paris," captures the beauty and intrigue of the natural world in an urban setting. Taken by acclaimed wildlife photographer Pascal Goetgheluck, this image showcases the exquisite Samia cynthia, also known as the Cynthia Silkmoth, as it rests gracefully on the leaves of an Ailanthus tree. Originally from South East Asia, this silkmoth has found a new home in France, adding a touch of the exotic to the European landscape. The Invalides, a historic military complex and national monument in Paris, provides an unexpected backdrop to this enchanting scene. The grand architecture and the vibrant colors of the moth create a striking contrast, highlighting the harmony between nature and the built environment. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and resilience of the natural world, as well as the importance of preserving biodiversity, even in urban areas. It serves as a reminder that the wonders of the natural world can be found in the most unexpected places, if we take the time to look.
