EMERALD IN THE SUN

Emerald in the Sun – A Fine Art Wildlife Photography Print

This fine art photography print by Michael Davy captures a dung beetle in the heart of Hwange National Park, its metallic emerald shell glistening under the bright morning sun. Taken from an intimate low perspective, 'Emerald in the Sun' showcases the beetle’s tireless work as it maneuvers its dung ball across the rugged terrain, emphasizing its perseverance and vital role in the ecosystem.

'Emerald in the Sun' immortalises the dung beetle in its fratntic haste to breed, solidifying its role in nature and our planet as a vital cog in our ecosystems. Dung beetles are nature’s recyclers, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of their environment. By rolling and burying dung, they fertilize the soil and control parasites, contributing to the health of the savanna. The dramatic sunburst in the background adds depth and warmth, illuminating the delicate details of the beetle and the intricate textures of the earth beneath it.
