EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare and fascinating moment in the animal kingdom - a scorpion carrying its young on its back. Taken in the lush landscapes of Costa Rica, this image showcases the remarkable maternal instincts of female scorpions (order Scorpiones). The mother scorpion can be seen with multiple tiny babies clinging onto her back, creating an endearing sight that highlights the wonders of nature. The photograph offers a glimpse into the intricate world of these arachnids, showcasing their unique behavior and biology. It serves as a testament to the diverse fauna found in tropical regions like South America, where such incredible creatures thrive. With its striking composition from above, this image beautifully portrays the bond between mother and offspring within the scorpion community. The adult scorpion's protective role is evident as she carries her precious cargo across their habitat. This display of care and responsibility sheds light on how even seemingly intimidating creatures exhibit nurturing qualities. Photographer Nicolas Reusens has skillfully captured this extraordinary moment, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of these often-misunderstood animals. As we gaze upon this stunning print from Science Photo Library, we are reminded once again that our natural world holds countless marvels waiting to be discovered and appreciated for their intrinsic value.
