EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up print by Roger Smith showcases the intricate beauty of nature's delicate balance. In the frame, a Pale Tussock caterpillar (Calliteara pudibunda) can be seen voraciously feeding on a vibrant Acer platanoides Crimson King leaf. The contrasting colors of the bright yellow caterpillar against the deep crimson foliage create a visually striking image. However, upon closer inspection, we witness the destructive power of this tiny insect. As it devours the leaf, leaving behind visible damage, we are reminded of the challenges faced by plants in their struggle for survival. Yet amidst this destruction lies new life and beginnings. The presence of just one animal signifies that wildlife thrives even in seemingly ordinary settings like our own backyards. This photograph captures a fleeting moment in time when an otherwise unnoticed creature takes center stage. With no people present to distract from its natural splendor, this outdoor scene reminds us to appreciate and protect our environment's rich biodiversity. It serves as a gentle reminder that every living organism plays an integral role in maintaining ecological harmony. In summary, Roger Smith's print encapsulates both the awe-inspiring beauty and potential problems posed by insects such as Pale Tussock caterpillars. It invites viewers to marvel at nature's wonders while also acknowledging its vulnerabilities and complexities
