Between the Stars de Tibor Litauszki de Kiskoros ()
Place: Alemanya
Description:

My photo shows an Alpine Newt (Ichthyosaura alpestris) eating frog eggs. I put my camera in an underwater case, which I placed under the frog's eggs. I preset the focus and waited. I took the picture with a homemade remote control as soon as I felt that the Alpine Newt was placed in position, and I illuminated it with a LED lamp, so you can see its silhouette.

Mayfly Arena de Imre Potyó de Göd (Pest)
Place: Danubi, Göd (Hongria)
Description:

Usually I spent 15-18 nights photographing mayflies (Ephoron virgo) every summer. I have been taking photos on the quiet summer nights about the Danube mayfly have swarmed for 12 years. The life of mayflies is only few hours long and their swarming dates are unpredictable. They came only after sunset, and afterwards more and more started to "dancing" just above the water surface.

Dotted de Kolodziej Kai de Perchtoldsdorf (Lower Austria)
Place: La Gamba (Costa Rica)
Description:

A Blunthead tree snake (Imantodes cenchoa) in Costa Rica. It is a fairly common species that preys on sleeping geckos at night. I used a flash from below and took care to shoot at a shallow depth of field to lose the rest of the body so that only the lighter parts are visible in dots.

The Intruder de Lorenzo Shoubridge de Borgo San Lorenzo (FI)
Place: Mont Avic, Alps (Itàlia)
Description:

A snipe fly (Chrysopilus sp.) searches for nourishment among the debris of the undergrowth. Often these small insects vary greatly in their diet and their usefulness within the family, with many different species ranging from being necrophilic, frugivorous, ammophilous up to species specialized in pollination. In the vegetation, as well as finding food, they also look for protection.
