Common furniture beetle, SEM
Common furniture beetle (Anobium punctatum), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The larval stage of this woodboring beetle are part of a group of such larvae, generically known as woodworm. The larvae feed for several years on the interior of wooden objects. They then pupate just under the surface and the adult form emerges from exit holes like those seen here. The adult forms reproduce, and the female lays eggs in a wooden object, starting the life cycle once more. Magnification: x12 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of the Common furniture beetle, captured through a colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image reveals the larval stage of this woodboring beetle, which belongs to a group commonly known as woodworm. These larvae spend several years feasting on the interior of wooden objects before pupating just beneath the surface. As they transform into their adult form, they emerge from exit holes like those beautifully depicted here. The life cycle of these fascinating creatures begins when female beetles lay eggs in wooden objects, perpetuating their species and continuing this remarkable process. This SEM image provides us with an up-close look at both the destructive capabilities and mesmerizing beauty found within nature's intricate design. Magnified twelve times its original size when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate every minute detail of these tiny creatures. It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly mundane aspects such as furniture or wooden structures, there is an entire ecosystem thriving and evolving right under our noses. Through this stunning visual representation by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into entomology and biology while marveling at the wonders hidden within our surroundings. Whether you are fascinated by wildlife or simply intrigued by scientific discoveries, this print offers a glimpse into one small corner of nature's vast tapestry.
