EDITORS COMMENTS
SPH-3291: The Hungry Harlequin Ladybird Invasion!". In this print by Steve Hopkin, we witness the incredible feeding frenzy of a Harlequin Ladybird on a group of unsuspecting aphids. But wait, there's more to this picture than meets the eye! This alien invader from the United Kingdom is not just any ordinary ladybird; it's an out-competitor extraordinaire! Feasting upon aphids with its close-up head in full focus, this European interloper has become quite the pest for native British ladybirds. With its insatiable appetite and laboratory culture origins in England, SPH-3291 has taken over as the reigning champion of beetle invaders. But don't be fooled by its innocent appearance! Behind those adorable red and black polka dots lies a formidable opponent that poses a threat to our beloved ladybirds' food supply. It's like watching an intense game show where SPH-3291 competes against other beetles for ultimate domination! So next time you spot one of these feisty creatures in your garden or local park, remember their true identity - they're not just any old ladybugs! They are part of an invasive species that has mastered the art of survival and turned eating aphids into a competitive sport. Kudos to Steve Hopkin for capturing this thrilling moment in nature's own reality show - "The Great Beetle Feeding Frenzy!
