EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The lesser of two weevils" photographer Paul D. Stewart captures the intriguing size disparity within a single family of insects. The image showcases two distinct species of weevils, highlighting the extremes in their dimensions and emphasizing the diversity found in nature. The larger weevil featured is the Bamboo weevil, known scientifically as Cyrtotrachelus dux, originating from East Asia. Its impressive size dominates the frame, showcasing its intricate details and unique characteristics that make it a fascinating specimen for entomologists and collectors alike. Contrasting against its colossal counterpart is a smaller weevil identified on an old collection label as Rhynchites betuleti from the UK. However, there remains some uncertainty regarding its accurate identification. Nevertheless, this misidentification adds another layer to the photograph's narrative by reminding us of how scientific knowledge evolves over time. This mesmerizing print not only serves as a visual treat for insect enthusiasts but also offers an opportunity for reflection on scaling within nature. It prompts viewers to ponder upon questions about adaptation strategies and evolutionary processes that have led to such significant variations in size among closely related species. "The lesser of two weevils" encapsulates both scientific curiosity and aesthetic appreciation through its stunning portrayal of these remarkable beetles. By capturing this striking comparison between different-sized members of one insect family, Stewart invites us into the world of entomology while celebrating nature's ability to surprise us with its endless wonders.
