You gotta see this?
 

  This photo of a mother stink bug guarding her baby bugs, cute? Stink bugs deserve love too. This image by Spanish biologist Javier Aznar González De Rueda, and it landed him the 2023 European Wildlife Photographer of the Year award. The scientist explained the mother’s protection is crucial for improving her offspring’s chances of survival with a whole host of predators waiting nearby. “This is a highly complex ecosystem with countless organisms in a vast web of life.”

    Good one! You must have found the colors of the stink bug and then created your piece. Love the mustard and the teal together. :-)
