Entomologist Pinning Specimens Under Two Suns in in Baghdad

Entomologist Pinning Specimens Under Two Suns

by Dawn Greer

Soft, overcast light fills a cluttered laboratory drawer in Baghdad, where an entomologist carefully positions a dried insect specimen. The workspace is a grid of pinned beetles and moths, their wings displaying intricate patterns of brown, gold, and charcoal. A second sun hangs low in the hazy sky beyond the window, casting a secondary, cooler highlight across the metal pins and glass jars. Low clouds press against the frame, diffusing the impossible light into a gentle glow that bounces off the wooden trays. The scientist's hand holds a fine forceps, steady and precise, while the dual light sources create overlapping shadows that stretch across the dried leaves and paper labels. One brass pin reflects the twin horizons.
