This artwork by Fred Enock achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2011. In the Travel, Science and Natural History auction, the work Wood boring wasp catching its prey: eleven diagrams showing the stages of the capture; seven diagrams showing the anatomy and life cycle of wasp and hover fly sold for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 5,912.40) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fred Enock - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Willow Saw Fly: nineteen diagrams showing the anatomy, habits of saw flies and their larvae, which sold at auction in April 2011 for GBP 11,250.00 (€ 12,669.44).
