Exceptional Winners of the 2023 Nature inFocus Photography Awards
“Symmetry in Mimicry” by Arkaprava Ghosh. Winner, Creative Nature Photography.
“Mimicry is the highest form of flattery, they say. But in the animal world, it is among the best defense mechanisms. Here, Line-forest Skimmers position themselves aptly on the perennial Phanera vahlii creeper to resemble an inflorescence. Notice how the dragonflies have raised their abdomens in unison? Fooling a predator never looked this intricate.”
