EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Hissing Cockroach, Gromphadorhina portentosa, in all its glory. With its antennae extended and native to Central America, this angled side view offers a unique perspective on this intriguing creature. The carapace of the cockroach is beautifully highlighted in this studio shot, showcasing its intricate details. The elongated feelers or antennae add an element of curiosity to the image, as they reach out into space. This particular species belongs to the Blaberidae family and falls under the order Blattodea. As one of many live-bearing cockroaches found in nature, it represents a fascinating aspect of insect life. Invertebrates like these hissing cockroaches are part of the vast world of arthropods that inhabit our planet. Their presence reminds us that every creature has a role to play in maintaining ecological balance. Frank Greenaway's skillful photography brings forth both beauty and intrigue within this single frame. It serves as a reminder that even creatures we may find unsettling can possess their own unique charm when viewed from a different perspective. This print by Universal Images Group (UIG) allows us to appreciate the wonders found within our natural world without any commercial intentions attached.
