Chicken body louse eggs, SEM
Chicken body louse eggs. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the eggs of a chicken body louse (family Menoponidae) cemented to the base of a chicken tail feather. These eggs are unusual in that they are very highly ornamented. Each egg consists of a stalked cap (operculum, pink), through which the larvae emerge, surrounded by rings of scale like filaments (orange). The chicken body louse is the most common and most destructive louse found on chickens. Magnification: x50 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of chicken body louse eggs, as seen under a scanning electron microscope. The image reveals an array of fascinating details that make these eggs truly unique. Each egg is adorned with a stalked cap, known as an operculum, which appears in a striking pink hue. From within this cap, tiny larvae emerge into the world. Surrounding the operculum are rings of scale-like filaments that add to the overall ornamentation of these eggs. These filaments display a vibrant orange color and create an eye-catching pattern around each egg. It is remarkable to observe how nature has designed such elaborate structures for something as small as louse eggs. The chicken body louse is not only common but also highly destructive when it comes to infesting chickens. This photograph offers us insight into their reproductive process and life stage development, shedding light on their parasitic nature. With a magnification level of x50 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM image allows us to appreciate the intricate details and complexity found within these tiny organisms. Through scientific exploration and research conducted by experts in entomology and biology, we gain valuable knowledge about these ectoparasites' behavior and characteristics. This stunning photograph from Science Photo Library serves as both an educational tool for those interested in zoology and entomology while also providing aesthetic pleasure through its vivid colors and mesmerizing patterns.
