EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Tarantula spider's head, captured through a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The Brazilian white striped bird-eating spider, scientifically known as Nhandu chromatus, takes center stage with its striking red and white coloration. Magnified to 20 times its actual size, this image allows us to appreciate the fascinating anatomy of this arachnid predator. The focus is on the spider's large mandibles or jaws positioned prominently in the center. These formidable mouthparts reveal the carnivorous nature of tarantulas as they are essential for capturing and devouring their prey. With eyes piercing through its surroundings, this arthropod displays an impressive level of detail that highlights both its beauty and predatory prowess. Native to Brazil, where it roams amidst diverse fauna and wildlife, this species belongs to the Theraphosidae family commonly referred to as birdeaters due to their ability to consume birds if given the opportunity. This photograph not only provides valuable insights into arachnology but also serves as a reminder of nature's complexity and diversity. Steve Gschmeissner's skillful capture offers viewers a glimpse into a hidden world that often goes unnoticed by our naked eye. Through his lens, we can explore the wonders of zoology while appreciating the delicate balance between predators and their environment.
