22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Ephemeral fairy
I came across this tiny, ephemeral fairy nestling among dewdrops during an early-morning stroll along the banks of the nearby ponds. Ephemeral moment both because of the name of the insect, whose lifespan does not exceed a few hours, and because of this moment suspended, before the dewdrops evaporate or fall.
