EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, to witness the incredible Brown-tail Moth caterpillars as they perform their gravity-defying acrobatics! This print captures a mesmerizing scene of these talented insects showcasing their skills on a defoliated Common Hawthorn hedge in Bacton, Suffolk. In this enchanting spectacle, the caterpillars have ingeniously woven a silk tent that serves as both their stage and sanctuary. As they munch away on the delicious leaves of the hedge, they create an intricate tapestry of nature's artistry. These European group performers are not just here for entertainment; they play a vital role in protecting our precious hedgerows. With their insatiable appetite for foliage, these hungry little critters help maintain balance in our ecosystem by controlling plant growth. As spring arrives in East Anglia, it is truly remarkable to witness how these tiny creatures transform into beautiful moths. Their silken larvae provide shelter and sustenance while preparing for their grand metamorphosis. So come one, come all! Immerse yourself in this extraordinary display of wildlife wonderment captured by FLPA photographer Marcus Webb. Let your imagination take flight as you marvel at the delicate intricacies of nature's own circus act – where caterpillars become stars under the big top made of silk!
