33 Stunning Winning Photos From The Close-Up Photographer
#6 Insects, 3rd Place – “Little Naughty Draw Circle” by Minghui Yuan
‘The beetle Aplosonyx nigriceps has developed a clever tactic to be able to eat the Alocasia macrorrhiza leaves and avoid the toxic alkalis that the plant secretes. It nibbles a 3cm circle on the leaves to cut off the toxin transmission before feasting inside the circle free of poison.
This example was photographed in Nonggang National Reserve, Guangxi Province, China.’
