EDITORS COMMENTS
Who knew mites had such a zest for grapefruit? This hilarious print captures the mischievous antics of the Citrus Rust Mite, turning a simple fruit into a work of art. With its tiny arachnid legs and insatiable appetite, this little critter sure knows how to leave its mark! In this masterpiece by FLPA/Len McLeod, we witness the battle between nature's pest and our beloved citrus crop. The damaged grapefruit proudly displays its unique patterns, courtesy of the Phyllocoptruta oleivora. It seems like these mites have an eye for abstract design! But fear not! Despite their destructive tendencies, these invertebrate troublemakers can't dampen our love for juicy grapefruits. They may be small but mighty pests that wreak havoc on citrus trees, yet they unintentionally create one-of-a-kind masterpieces. So next time you enjoy a tangy slice of grapefruit or sip on some refreshing juice, take a moment to appreciate the hidden talents of these pesky creatures. Who needs Picasso when you've got Citrus Rust Mites? Their artistic touch adds an extra zing to your morning routine!
