‘Feather-horned beetles are quite small, but their antennae are truly fantastic. A large group of beetles were flying around and this one perched on a stick, where I snapped their unique symmetrical portrait. I was with my father-in-law Fernando Leon, who is now battling ALS, a neurodegenerative disorder, so I would like to dedicate this photo to him.’ Gadubanud country, Great Ocean Road, Victoria.
