EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bob Gibbons showcases the majestic beauty of a male Greater Stag Beetle in its natural habitat. Set against an old oak tree stump in Romania, this European creature stands out with its striking brown exoskeleton and impressive size. The intricate details captured in this close-up shot allow us to appreciate the wonders of wildlife and explore the fascinating world of zoology. As we delve into the realm of entomology, we are reminded that insects play a vital role in our ecosystem. This single beetle represents an entire community of wood borers known as Coleoptera, which thrive across Eastern Europe. Its presence on the decaying tree stump highlights nature's ability to recycle and regenerate. The Greater Stag Beetle is not just any ordinary insect; it symbolizes strength and resilience within its species. With their large mandibles resembling antlers, these beetles have earned their name from their resemblance to a stag deer. Their unique features make them truly remarkable creatures worth admiring. Through this photograph, we are transported to Romania's enchanting forests where these magnificent beetles call home. It serves as a reminder that even amidst urbanization and modernization, pockets of untouched wilderness still exist for us to cherish and protect for future generations to come.
