Battle of the Ladybirds - A Drama Unfolds in Kent's Garden!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a fierce encounter between two Harlequin Ladybird larvae. The leafy battleground in Belvedere, Bexley sets the stage for an intense clash of nature's titans. With their vibrant colors and intricate patterns, these young European invaders from Asia engage in a high-stakes battle for dominance. One larva launches a surprise attack on its unsuspecting counterpart, showcasing the aggressive behavior that has made this species notorious across England. As tensions rise under the summer sun, it becomes clear that harmony is far from their agenda. This invasive arthropod duo brings an exotic touch to Kent's temperate landscape but also sparks conflict among native insects. Their introduction into English gardens has disrupted the delicate balance of wildlife as they assert their dominance over other ladybird species. As Londoners marvel at these alien creatures' aggression, one cannot help but be captivated by this enthralling display of insect warfare. Will the attacked larva retaliate? Or will peace eventually prevail amidst all this chaos? FLPA photographer Dave Pressland masterfully captures both the beauty and brutality within our natural world through his lens. This print serves as a reminder that even in our own backyards, incredible stories unfold every day – if only we take a moment to observe them closely!
