EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Waterbug, Lethocerus grandis, in all its glory. With a wide flat body and a pointed thorax, this insect is truly unique. The short but large front legs are prominently displayed in this above view shot, capturing the essence of its powerful presence. The studio setting allows for every intricate detail to be highlighted with precision. From the flat carapace to the delicate antennae and feelers, each feature is meticulously captured by photographer Frank Greenaway. This image offers an up-close look at one of nature's fascinating creatures. Belonging to the Hemiptera order, this solitary animal belongs to the family Belostomatidae. Its scientific name may sound intimidating, but it is simply known as a giant water bug or waterbug. Found in various habitats around the world, these insects are classified as arthropods and belong to the vast group of invertebrates. In this photograph from Universal Images Group (UIG), we can appreciate not only their physical attributes but also their vital role within ecosystems. While bugs like Blattella germanica might often steal attention due to their reputation as pests, images like these remind us that there is beauty even among seemingly ordinary creatures
