Description

With the arrival of summer, here is the return of the glowing worms. This show is always magical. A great opportunity to seize these unique moments, testifying to the beauty but also the fragility of nature that surrounds us. This insect is threatened with extinction due to light pollution. The female stretches her bioluminescent abdomen towards the sky, hoping to be spotted by a male. But he struggles to perceive these weak light signals drowned in urban lighting.

This is my second attempt to make this sort of picture.
This time I focused on making the beetle (Lampyris noctiluca) more visible.
The differences in exposure and focus necessitated the creation of two separate shots: one for the insect and one for the moon.
