Next up is the Urban Wildlife category. Gil Wizen @wizentrop is the winner with this incredible Brazilian wandering spider. After noticing tiny spiders all over his bedroom, Gil looked under his bed. There, guarding its brood, was one of the world’s most venomous spiders. #WPY57

Congratulations Karine Aigner, Wildlife Photographer of the Year! 🏆 In her bee-level close-up, all except one are males and they are intent on mating with the single female at the centre. Like most bees, they are threatened by habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. #WPY58

Congratulations to Majed Ali from Kuwait, this year's Animal Portraits category winner! Majed trekked for four hours to meet Kibande, an almost-40- year-old mountain gorilla. As cooling rain began to fall, Kibande remained in the open, seeming to enjoy the shower. #WPY57

Our youngest category winner, in 10 Years and Under, is Arshdeep Singh from India with 'Pipe Owls'. After his keen observational skills helped him see these spotted owlets Arshdeep waited patiently for the birds to peep out from their hiding place to get this winning shot. #WPY54
