EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a Mantis Shrimp in its natural habitat in Papua New Guinea. The close-up head view reveals the intricate details of this fascinating creature, known scientifically as Odontodactylus scyallarus. The vibrant colors of the peacock mantis shrimp are on full display, showcasing its striking purple and red hues against the backdrop of the underwater world. Its compound eyes, with their unique structure and incredible vision capabilities, add to its allure. Living in a burrow within a volcano crater at Witu Islands, this arthropod thrives in the tropical climate of Kimbe Bay. With its multi-colored body and long antennae extending from its animal den, it is truly a sight to behold. Photographer Steve Jones has expertly captured every minute detail with his skillful photography technique. This image allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also gain insight into marine biology and species diversity found in the Indo Pacific Ocean. In this stunning close-up shot, we can marvel at nature's wonders without any distractions from human presence or commercial use. It serves as a reminder that there is so much more beneath our oceans' surface waiting to be discovered and protected for future generations to enjoy.
