23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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.

Nature's Hungry Hunter - Six-spot Ground Beetle Devours Mealworm Feast in Northern Africa!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this close-up, we witness the incredible dining skills of the Six-spot Ground Beetle (Anthia sexguttata) as it indulges in a scrumptious meal. With its head held high and jaws wide open, this adult beetle is caught red-handed feasting on a helpless Mealworm larva (Tenebrionidae sp. ). Hailing from the wilds of Northern Africa, this predatory insect showcases its remarkable hunting prowess. Its sleek black exoskeleton glistens under the sun, while its six distinctive spots add a touch of elegance to its appearance. The beetle's focused gaze and powerful mandibles highlight its determination to savor every morsel. As it devours the succulent larva with gusto, one can't help but marvel at nature's intricate food chain. This fascinating snapshot reminds us that even in the animal kingdom, survival depends on finding nourishment. The relentless pursuit for sustenance drives these creatures to develop unique adaptations and strategies. From insects to arthropods, beetles like our protagonist here play an essential role in maintaining ecological balance. Their voracious appetite for mealworms and other prey helps control populations and ensures harmony within their habitat. So next time you stumble upon an innocent-looking ground beetle roaming your garden or exploring African landscapes, remember that beneath their tiny frames lies an insatiable hunger waiting to be satisfied!
