Yellow dung flys foot, SEM
Yellow dung fly (Scatophaga stercoraria) foot, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The two claws (pale brown) are used to grip rough surfaces. The hairy adhesive pads, or pulvilli (pink, beneath claws), secrete a solution that allows the fly to cling to smooth surfaces. Magnification: x130 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate foot of a Yellow dung fly (Scatophaga stercoraria) in stunning detail. The scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the fascinating anatomy and attachment mechanisms that enable this tiny insect to navigate its environment with precision. At first glance, we notice the two pale brown claws, which serve as essential tools for gripping rough surfaces. These sturdy appendages allow the fly to maintain stability and maneuverability while exploring its surroundings. However, it is the hairy adhesive pads, or pulvilli, located beneath the claws that truly captivate our attention. Colored in a delicate shade of pink, these pads secrete a specialized solution that grants the fly an extraordinary ability – clinging effortlessly to even smooth surfaces. This remarkable adaptation enables them to traverse various terrains without difficulty. With a magnification of x130 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this image highlights nature's incredible intricacies on a microscopic scale. It offers us insight into the biological wonders found within insects like yellow dung flies and their impressive abilities to adapt and survive in diverse environments. Through this photograph from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how much there is still left to discover about our natural world – even within something as seemingly insignificant as an insect's foot.
