22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Beneath the Surface: Bug Portrait in Detail

Wildlife encompasses an astonishing diversity of form & behaviour. The more we dive in the more we get amaze by its beauty. Commonly called the two-spotted stink bug or double - eyed soldier bug captured while resting on a soft tendril. It's dynamic morphology & patterns over the shield is what seems eye catching & questions us how nature is so colourful , vibrant & surreal with full of beautiful species all around .
