“Over the Mineral World,” by Carlos Pérez Naval
Pérez Naval says: “Natural wonders occur all around us, but most of the time we don’t even notice. I spotted these two yellow ladybugs (Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata) on a wall close to my school in Calamocha, Teruel, Spain. The insects themselves are pretty enough – with their bright yellow bodies and black spots – but it’s the mineral world below them that really makes this picture for me. The ‘drawings’ in the rock are actually mineral precipitations of manganese oxide.”
