Woo Hoo ! I won 3rd Prize in the Pollinator Photographic Competition 2025 !

Third place award for the Pollinator Photography Competition has been awarded to… Erica Siegel! 🥉

Erica, based in Queensland, captured an action shot of a Mosquito (Toxorhynchites speciosus) feeding on Parsonsia straminea with an Assassin Bug (Reduviidae) lurking nearby, poised to strike! 🌿🦟

This captivating image offers a rare glimpse into the drama of Australia’s pollinator world - where beauty, balance and survival all play out in a single frame.

The Pollinator Photography Competition is proudly sponsored by Flow Hive, Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies, The House of Honey & The Sticky Spoon Cafe, Wild Magazine and the Centre for Bee Education, a collaboration between the Wheen Bee Foundation and Bee School by Beechworth Honey.
