Red Milkweed Beetle on Common Milkweed - Casey Downs
Framed Photograph
The wild corners of our native landscapes are a constant source of wonder that helps us reconnect with the magic of childlike curiosity. Through my photography, I seek to share these intimate worlds, focusing on the profound and often fragile connections between native plants and their insect inhabitants. It's a journey of discovery, observing the quiet dramas and essential partnerships that unfold every day. They often go unseen, misunderstood, or unappreciated; yet they are an irreplaceable thread in the Web of Life. Their collapse would be a devastating domino effect, toppling the ecosystems they hold together.
These nuanced relationships hold powerful lessons about resilience and interconnectedness. My photographs are an invitation to slow down, to look closer, and to recognize the inherent value in every bloom and every buzz, calling to action a collective commitment to safeguard Mother Nature’s legacy.
