Tarantula Hawk Wasp in Indigo Morocco Twilight in on a wind-scoured ridge in Morocco

Tarantula Hawk Wasp in Indigo Morocco Twilight

by Dawn McConnell

Deep indigo shadows cloak a wind-scoured ridge in the Moroccan desert as a tarantula hawk wasp rests on coarse, pale sand grains. The insect's iridescent blue-black body catches a sharp rim of fading sunlight along its wing edges, defining its form against the darkening earth. Dramatic, layered clouds hover low above the horizon, their undersides painted in bruised violet and charcoal tones. The perspective sits low to the ground, showing the texture of the dry soil and the fragile scale of the creature. Fine sand particles surround the wasp's legs, settling in the quiet aftermath of the day's heat. One shadow stretches from the insect's abdomen, marking the exact angle of the last light.
