Canvas Print : Weevil in a pea, SEM
Canvas Prints From Science Photo Library
Weevil in a pea, SEM
Weevil (Sitophilus sp.) inside a pea, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The weevil develops from an egg laid in a hole on the surface of the pea. The larva burrows inwards and then pupates before emerging as an adult. The adult then gnaws its way out of the pea. Weevils such as this are major agricultural pests, primarily attacking stored grains and fruits. An infestation is capable of destroying entire batches of food.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of a weevil inside a pea, captured using a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the fascinating life cycle of these agricultural pests, known for their destructive impact on stored grains and fruits. The process begins with an egg laid in a small hole on the surface of the pea. From there, a larva emerges and burrows its way inward, seeking nourishment within the confines of its green enclosure. As time passes, it undergoes metamorphosis and pupates before finally emerging as an adult weevil. Weevils like this one pose significant threats to agriculture due to their ability to infest entire batches of food. With magnification at x10 when printed 10cm wide, this print allows us to appreciate the minute details that make up this complex biological phenomenon. Through this stunning visual representation, we gain insight into nature's delicate balance between development and destruction. It serves as a reminder of both the wonders and challenges faced by farmers worldwide in protecting their crops from these relentless insects. With its blend of biology, entomology, and agriculture themes, this print is sure to captivate those interested in exploring the hidden worlds that exist within our natural environment.
