EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of a Hoverfly (Sericomayia silentis) perching gracefully on a vibrant flower head. Against a clean white background, this studio shot captures every intricate detail of the hoverfly's anatomy and its interaction with nature. The horizontal composition allows for a side view perspective, revealing the elegant form of these fascinating creatures. Hoverflies, also known as syrphid flies or short-horned flies, belong to the diptera order and are part of the family Syrphidae within the brachycera suborder. These small insects are characterized by their ability to hover in mid-air like tiny helicopters, hence their name. Invertebrates such as hoverflies play an essential role in our ecosystem as pollinators. Photographed by Dorling Kindersley for Universal Images Group (UIG), this color image beautifully captures the essence of these remarkable arthropods. With no other animals or objects present in the frame, all attention is drawn to this single hoverfly perched delicately on a flower head. This stunning print is perfect for anyone fascinated by nature photography or those who appreciate the intricacies of insect life. Whether displayed in homes or offices, it serves as a reminder of both the diversity and fragility found within our natural world.
