Absolutely delighted that one of my photos picked up 'Specially Commended' in the Royal Entomological Society's 2023 Photo Competition!

This pair of silverfish appeared to be clinging together inside a small, clayey nest structure. Some of their brilliant silver scales have rubbed off, which may indicate moulting was about to take place. As always with macrophotography, patience was a virtue here - fortunately they both stayed put while I lined up a shot which got both silverfish’s eyes in focus!

Congratulations to everyone else who picked up wins in this year's competition. Let's all support #insectweek and show some love for the little creatures that run this world!
