greedy de Giuseppe Bonali de Robecco d'Oglio (Itàlia)
Place: Robecco d'Oglio Italy
Description: At the end of the summer, when the wasps approach the houses, I often wait for them. In this case, I prepared a mini set in the garden with an acorn shell filled with sweetened water, and in order to challenge myself and create a more intimate environment, I photographed through a small hollow trunk. I tried many times while wasps (Hymenoptera Apocrita) were flying and after three afternoons of trying I succeeded and the exact picture I had imagined.

Night Killer de Mohammad Murad de Hitteen ()
Place: Kuwait
Description: Arabian Horned Vipers (Cerastes gasperettii) are famous in Kuwait, especially where I work. I work at the Transmitter Station for both Tv and Radio. The station is in the far north of Kuwait and the area is full of scorpions and snakes. The night I took this picture, I decided to go for a walk behind our building, and while I was looking for wolf spiders with my torch to test my skills with micro photography, I spotted this snake under a small plant and I started taking pictures as she decided to go for a walk herself along the sand dunes
