A wildlife photographer who has captured the stunning biodiversity and wealth of wildlife in South Texas wins an international award.
Karine Aigner is the Grand Title winner in the Natural History Museum’s 2022 Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition for her photographKarine Aigner had no idea what she was witnessing when she chanced upon a field of what looked like mini volcanoes on a ranch near Cotulla. The sometime Texan and itinerant wildlife photographer was driving on a dirt road when she noticed masses of tiny mounds across the landscape. Thinking they were ant mounds, she pulled over.
Aigner said she wasn’t planning to shoot photos that day, but the captivating spectacle inspired her to retrieve her Sony a7RIII camera and a Laowa macro probe lens and start photographing. She snapped about 1,200 photos over several hours. Underground nests from Cactus Bees are scattered across a South Texas ranch near the town of Cotulla. species complete their metamorphosis underground and emerge the same year they are laid; others overwinter as larvae and emerge in the spring. The males emerge first.
Aigner did, and was struck by the stunning biodiversity and wealth of wildlife. The first time, she stayed in the Cotulla area four months, and while she owns a condo in Washington, D.C., she spends more time at the ranch and on the road than in the nation’s capitol.
