NORCROSS, Ga. — Marc Terry, salesman at Peachtree Pest Control, Norcross, Ga., is the winner of PCT’s 10th annual Best Pest Photo Contest. Terry won this year’s contest with a flower crab spider photo.
Terry, a 16-year industry professional, took the photo at the home of his mother, Carol Terry, in North Georgia. “She has a pond out back and I was [photographing] fish when I saw this spider. I had never seen one quite like it so I started taking pictures. There was a lot of sunlight that day so I had to use a higher F stop in order to achieve the dark background.”
Terry said he took the photo to the Peachtree corporate office and the company’s entomologist, Terry Bowen, confirmed it was a flower crab spider. “I went online and looked at several crab spider photos and didn’t see one with the same color combination, which is one of things I liked about this photo. I also liked the composition, lighting and clarity of the photo.”
In addition to leading Peachtree’s sales department, Terry is the company’s go-to photographer for insect photos and company events. He enjoys wildlife photography, especially photographing black bears.
Terry wins $500 from PCT and his photo will be profiled in an upcoming issue, along with this year’s 10 finalist photos. The photos are available for viewing online.
