EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Daniele La Monaca, we are transported to the enchanting world of the Saint Alessio Oasis animal sanctuary in Pavia, Italy. A magnificent Morpho peleides butterfly, also known as the Blue Morph, delicately perches on a branch adorned with chrysalides. The vibrant blue wings of the butterfly create a striking contrast against the lush green foliage surrounding it. Its intricate patterns and iridescent hues seem almost otherworldly, mesmerizing any observer lucky enough to witness its beauty. At this ecological reserve, butterflies like this one are nurtured and raised until they reach maturity before being released into their natural habitat. This practice not only helps preserve these delicate creatures but also contributes to maintaining a balanced ecosystem. The image captures a moment frozen in time - an exquisite creature at rest amidst nature's wonders. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and cherish all living beings that share our planet. Daniele La Monaca's skillful photography transports us into this serene oasis where nature thrives undisturbed. Through his lens, we can appreciate both the fragility and resilience of these remarkable butterflies as they embark on their journey towards freedom and new beginnings.
