This photograph may look like a lion taking a selfie - but it would also be the last thing a defenceless animal would see before being killed by one of nature’s most powerful creatures. Hannes took the brilliant photograph in the Kalahari desert while working with a pride of 14 lions.
这张像是狮子在自拍，但也可能是一只无法挣扎抵抗的动物在被大自然最强大的生物杀死前留下的遗照。在喀拉哈里沙漠与14只狮子组成的狮群相处时，汉内斯拍下了这张绝佳的照片。

A praying mantis takes its name literally and looks as though it is blessing another insect as they meet on a branch. The two mantises crossed paths when they were moving in opposite directions on the same branch. At first, the brown mantis did not notice the green one coming the other way and attempted to climb over it. Yvonne Spane, who took the photo at her home in Friedrichsdorf, Germany, says she is fascinated by insects and has kept praying mantises for a decade.
一只螳螂在与另一只昆虫在同一根树枝上相遇时，便正映了它的名字，看上去像是在为另一只昆虫祈福（祈福用英语说是pray，螳螂用英语说是praying mantis，这里是个文字游戏）。图中的两只螳螂刚好在同一根树枝上狭路相逢。一开始，棕色的那只并没有注意到绿色的螳螂要从另一边过来，还试图爬过它。伊芳·斯本在位于德国弗里德里希斯多夫的家中照下这张照片。她说自己被昆虫迷住，已经养了十年螳螂。
