Jigsaw Puzzles From Science Photo Library
Carpet beetle hair, SEM
Carpet beetle hair. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the spear-headed hair (hastisetae) of a carpet beetle larva (family Dermestidae). These hairs, which are found at the back of the beetle, can cause lung and skin irritation, and gastric problems. Carpet beetle larvae are found in the dirtier areas of homes. Because of their hairy appearance they are often known as woolly bears. They are a significant pest, feeding on animal materials including fur, feathers, hair, leather and other fabrics, and stored food products

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a carpet beetle hair, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the spear-headed structure of this hair found at the back of a carpet beetle larva from the Dermestidae family. These hairs, although visually fascinating, can cause various health issues such as lung and skin irritation, as well as gastric problems. Carpet beetle larvae are commonly found in dirtier areas within homes and are often referred to as woolly bears due to their hairy appearance. However, despite their seemingly harmless name, these larvae pose significant threats as pests. They feed on animal materials including fur, feathers, hair, leather, fabrics, and even stored food products. The false coloration applied to this SEM image enhances its visual impact while providing valuable insights into the biology and anatomy of these insects. This photograph serves not only as an artistic representation but also contributes to entomological research by highlighting key features that aid in identifying carpet beetles. With its blend of nature's wonders and scientific exploration into insect behavior and physiology, this striking print from Science Photo Library is sure to captivate both wildlife enthusiasts and those interested in zoology or dermatology.
