Mite on a fly, SEM
Mite. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an unidentified mite (order Acari) on the head of a fly (eye at upper left, red). The mites are tiny relatives of the spider. Mites have varied habitats and lifestyles. Some are parasitic on insects, feeding on their body fluids. If enough mites infest the insect, they may kill it. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate relationship between a mite and a fly, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image reveals an unidentified mite from the order Acari perched on the head of a fly, with its eye visible at the upper left corner in striking red. Mites, which are tiny relatives of spiders, exhibit diverse habitats and lifestyles. Some mites have adopted parasitic tendencies towards insects, sustaining themselves by feeding on their body fluids. However, if these minuscule creatures infest an insect in large numbers, they can pose a lethal threat to their host. The magnification used for this SEM image remains unknown but allows us to appreciate the minute details and complexities within this microscopic world. This photograph serves as a testament to nature's intricacy and highlights the fascinating interplay between different species. With elements encompassing nature, animal behavior, wildlife biology, zoology, arachnids' study (arachnida), SEM technology (scanning electron micrograph), parasites and their parasitic habits - this visually stunning print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the mesmerizing realm of invertebrates such as mites while simultaneously appreciating scientific artistry.
