Winner – Portfolio Award: The last bite by Ripan Biswas, India. These two ferocious predators don’t often meet. The giant riverine tiger beetle pursues prey on the ground, while weaver ants stay mostly in the trees – but if they do meet, both need to be wary. “The beetle kept pulling at the ant’s leg”, says Biswas, “trying to rid itself of the ant’s grip, but it couldn’t quite reach its head”.
