EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fly Larva, SEM C016 / 9032" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of nature's smallest creatures. Captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this coloured image showcases the head of an aquatic larva belonging to the fly order Diptera. Against a striking black background, the vibrant hues bring forth every minute detail of this fascinating invertebrate. With a magnification of x140 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, viewers are granted access to a level of intricacy that is otherwise invisible to the naked eye. The delicate mouthparts and distinct features of this larval stage come alive in vivid coloration, allowing us to appreciate its biological complexity. This photograph serves as a testament to both the artistry and scientific value found within microscopic exploration. As we delve into the realms of entomology and zoology, we gain insight into not only individual species but also broader ecosystems they inhabit. The study of larvae such as these plays an essential role in understanding life stages and behaviors within our natural world. Through this remarkable image by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library, we are reminded once again that even seemingly insignificant organisms hold immense beauty and importance within our diverse animal kingdom.
