Sleeping cuckoos, by Yorkshire-based Luke Chambers, has won this year’s Royal Entomological Society Insect Week photography competition. <\/p>\n

Chambers’ photo shows two cuckoo bees resting on a blade of grass. <\/p>\n

\u201cFinding any sleeping invertebrate is always brilliant – but two so close together, well that’s like winning the photography lottery,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tim Jonas’s picture of caddis-fly larvae came second.<\/p>\n

Head judge, broadcaster, photographer and Falmouth University senior lecturer Dr Tim Cockerill said: \u201cInsects are the most diverse group of animals on the planet yet we know so little about most of them. <\/p>\n

“Photography like this provides a window into the astonishing complexity and beauty of the insect world.<\/p>\n

“At a time when insects face huge threats, I hope this collection of stunning images helps to showcase just how important \u2013 and beautiful \u2013 they really are.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Swedish photographer Gustav Parenmark, 17, won the under-18 category, with this picture of a banded demoiselle damselfly at rest. <\/p>\n

“Waking up early is the key to photographing sleeping odonates,” he said.<\/p>\n

“This species of damselfly is usually very skittish – but I went out at 04:00 to capture them inactive, making them easier to photograph.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"JamieJamie Smart<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
\n

Jamie Smart’s picture of a robber fly came second.<\/p>\n

“I was up early one morning and decided to have a wander around our wild garden with my camera, when I saw this fly on grass,” the eight-year-old said. <\/p>\n

“I didn’t realise until looking on the computer that he was actually eating another fly.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
