Hoverfly feeding, SEM
Hoverfly feeding. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a hoverfly (Rhingia campestris) feeding on a bugle flower (Ajuga reptans). Its long mouthparts are seen reaching into the flower to suck its nectar. Some flowers may also be pollinated by feeding hoverflies. Its large compound eyes are red. At far right, one of its halteres (paddle-shaped) is visible. These tiny projections aid in the flys balance. Hoverflies are so named for their ability to hover in the air by beating their wings (silver, centre right) rapidly. This is usually done, as here, to allow them to feed on flowers without alighting. Magnification: x4 at 6x7cm size. x10 at 5x7 inch size. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © POWER AND SYRED/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the world of insects. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness a hoverfly, specifically Rhingia campestris, indulging in a delectable bugle flower known as Ajuga reptans. The intricate details are brought to life as the long mouthparts of the hoverfly delve into the depths of the flower, eagerly seeking its sweet nectar. Hoverflies play an essential role in pollination, and some flowers rely on these feeding creatures for their reproduction. As we observe this tiny marvel, we cannot help but be drawn to its striking red compound eyes that seem to hold secrets within them. At the far right of the image, one can spot one of its halteres - paddle-shaped projections aiding in maintaining balance during flight. The name "hoverfly" perfectly encapsulates their remarkable ability to suspend themselves mid-air by rapidly beating their silver wings. This allows them to feed on flowers without needing to land. The level of magnification applied here reveals astonishing details at different sizes: x4 at 6x7cm and x10 at 5x7 inches. In this single snapshot from Science Photo Library's vast collection, nature enthusiasts and zoology aficionados alike can appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within our natural world – where even seemingly small interactions between species hold immense significance.
