EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Alan Weaving, we witness the mischievous antics of the notorious Lily Weevil as it indulges in its favorite delicacy - the leaves of Pig's Ears (Cotyledon orbiculata). Hailing from Grahamstown, Eastern Cape in South Africa, this little insect is causing quite a stir! With its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, the Lily Weevil may seem like a harmless beauty. However, don't be fooled by its charming appearance! This beetle belongs to the Coleoptera family and is known for its herbivorous tendencies. As it munches away on these succulent plants, defoliation becomes an art form. As we zoom in on this single Lily Weevil engrossed in devouring Pig's Ears leaves, we can almost hear it saying "Bon appétit!". With each bite taken, destruction follows suit. The damage caused by these pests can be alarming but fascinating at the same time. Let us not forget that nature has its own balance. While some might consider them pests, these insects play an essential role in our ecosystem. So next time you spot a Lily Weevil feasting on your garden plants, take a moment to appreciate their unique contribution to our wild world. Alan Weaving captures this extraordinary scene with precision and passion. His lens invites us into the secret lives of wildlife creatures like never
