Veolia Wildlife Photo

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year has a new sponser: Veolia Environnment (sic). And the first photo released by the Natural History Museum, London, and BBC Wildlife Magazine to mark this year's completion of entries is this terrific photo of a black oil beetle taken by Spanish photographer Juan Jesus Ahumada. Nice one, guys. I'm sure BP will love your selection! The winners will be announced on 21 October. The exhibition opens the following day. Tickets for the exhibition are on sale now (title link).
