EDITORS COMMENTS

In this mesmerizing print captured by Pascal Kobeh, we witness a truly extraordinary sight - an aggregation of thousands of moulting Spider crabs (Leptomithrax gaimardii) coming together for their annual gathering. The Pacific Ocean off the coast of Australia becomes the stage for this grand event, as these crustaceans create a breathtaking spectacle. As if choreographed by nature itself, these true crabs form an enormous group that stretches across the seabed. Their vibrant colors and intricate patterns create a stunning visual feast for any wildlife enthusiast. It's like witnessing Mother Nature's own masterpiece! This large-scale congregation not only showcases the beauty and diversity of marine life but also offers a glimpse into fascinating animal behavior. As they moult and shed their old exoskeletons, these arthropods display their defensive strategies against potential predators lurking in the saltwater depths. Pascal Kobeh's exceptional photography skills have earned him well-deserved recognition with numerous awards. With this image, he transports us to another world beneath the waves - where creatures like Leptomithrax gaimardii come alive in all their splendor.
