Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

An Italian Feast - Harlequin Ladybird Larva Devours Scale Insect in Liguria
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot from the heart of Italy, we witness a fascinating culinary encounter between two unlikely characters. The scene unfolds in Genova Province, Liguria, as an alien Asian Harlequin Ladybird larva indulges its taste buds with a delectable Italian treat - a Scale Insect. With its vibrant red and black polka-dotted exoskeleton, the ladybird larva stands out against the lush green backdrop of southern Europe. Its insatiable appetite for these pesky Coccoidea pests makes it an invaluable ally to local farmers battling invasive species. As summer embraces the region, this little predator showcases its remarkable hunting skills. With precision and finesse, it pounces on the unsuspecting prey like a seasoned gourmet chef preparing an exquisite dish. The scale insect becomes nothing more than a sumptuous morsel in this wild food chain dance. This harmonious interaction between continents reminds us that nature knows no boundaries when it comes to survival strategies. While originally hailing from Asia, these ladybirds have found their place among European wildlife – proving that even aliens can become integral members of new ecosystems. So let's raise our glasses to this delightful print capturing both the beauty and quirkiness of nature's intricate tapestry!
