EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are introduced to the enchanting world of the Female New Zealand Mantis. Perched delicately on a vibrant yellow daffodil flower, this member of the Mantidae family showcases its unique beauty and significance in New Zealand's ecosystem. With its swollen abdomen, we can discern that this mature female is carrying precious cargo within her. As an endemic species to New Zealand, she represents the incredible biodiversity found in this part of the world. Always adorned in shades of green, her forelegs boast a mesmerizing blue and purple spot, adding a touch of elegance to her appearance. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these mantises play a vital role as natural pest controllers in our home gardens. They tirelessly hunt down insects that may harm our plants without relying on harmful chemicals or pesticides. Their presence brings balance and harmony to our permaculture practices. This stunning vertical image captures not only the intricate details of this remarkable creature but also highlights its harmonious interaction with nature's creations - like the radiant daffodil it rests upon. Through Stefan Mokrzecki's lens, we are reminded once again of Mother Nature's awe-inspiring wonders and how they enrich our lives every day.
