Cuckoo bees resting won the insect photo contest.

I hope that this collection of breathtaking photos serves to highlight the importance and beauty of insects at a time when they are under tremendous threat.Gustav Parenmark, a 17-year-old Swedish photographer, took home the under-18 title with this image of a banded demoiselle damselfly relaxing.
“Waking up early is the key to photographing sleeping odonates,” he stated.
“This species of damselfly is usually very skittish – but I went out at 04:00 to capture them inactive, making them easier to photograph.”
