EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Andy Sands, we witness the incredible work of nature's unsung heroes - the Sexton / Burying Beetle (Nicrophorus vespilloides). Feast your eyes on this extraordinary scene as these black and yellow beetles indulge in a rabbit carcass buffet amidst the stunning Upper Teesdale landscape in Co. Durham, England. With their striking warning coloration and insatiable appetite for death, these burrowing beetles play a vital role in maintaining balance within our delicate ecosystem. As they scuttle across the fur-covered remains, it becomes clear that no job is too big or too gruesome for these determined insects. Captured up close and personal, every detail of this fascinating feeding frenzy is brought to life. Witness their meticulous teamwork as they strip away flesh from bone with precision and efficiency. These industrious creatures remind us that even in death, there is beauty and purpose. So next time you stumble upon a rabbit carcass while exploring the great outdoors, take a moment to appreciate the tireless efforts of these remarkable burying beetles. They may not be your typical dinner guests, but they certainly know how to make use of one!
