Insects and invertebrates feature prominently in this year’s contest, although regrettably, a photo of a vertebrate took top honors.
Some very lovely photos, including one of an aphid’s shed skin that is magical. The incredible colors immediately mark this as a Tiger beetle (photo by David Almquist), but rarely do you see them actually show up in a photograph.
If you select the slide show, you’ll have at least 20 minutes of beautiful photos on your desktop. My only complaint was that the photos were too small to really see some of the details!

What an amazing photo. Though for me, it’s the labrum and mandibles rather than the color that immediately say that it’s from my favorite coleopteran subfamily.
Yes, well, that too, of course
