This is the grand prize winner of the Bug Photography Award taken by Mofeed Abu Shalwa—who first began taking pictures of bugs to help overcome his childhood phobia of insects. This lovely thing is a palm weevil—whose larvae can excavate holes up to a metre long in palm trees, weakening and even killing the host plant. This collection of creepy crawly winners is truly remarkable. Feel free to admire them—at a safe and very great distance.
