Cicada insects

Cicada insects (Carineta aratayensis). These specimens have been preserved so that their haemolymph (body fluid) can be extracted. Juvenile cicadas spend many years undergound before emerging as adults to live in treetops. Adult males attract females by producing one of the loudest sounds of any insect, from special organs called tymbals. These and other insects are being screened in search of new antibiotic, anti- inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-cancer drugs by a company called Entomed, based in Strasbourg in France. Between 1999 and 2003, Entomed analysed more than 175 novel molecules with potential medical effects

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases preserved specimens of Cicada insects, specifically Carineta aratayensis. These fascinating creatures have been carefully preserved to extract their haemolymph, which is their body fluid. Juvenile cicadas spend several years underground before emerging as adults and taking up residence in treetops. Adult male cicadas possess special organs called tymbals that enable them to produce one of the loudest sounds among all insects, attracting females for mating purposes. The photo highlights the work of Entomed, a renowned company based in Strasbourg, France. Specializing in research and medicine, Entomed screens various insects including these cicadas to discover new antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents, antiviral drugs and even potential anti-cancer compounds. Between 1999 and 2003 alone, Entomed analyzed over 175 novel molecules derived from different insect species with promising medical effects. This image offers a glimpse into the world of biology and entomology research while emphasizing the importance of studying diverse organisms for potential medical breakthroughs. The multiple preserved specimens displayed here represent countless hours spent analyzing biological samples by dedicated scientists at Entomed. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate this snapshot capturing the beauty and complexity found within the insect kingdom. While not mentioning any commercial use or specific details about the company itself (as per instructions), this photograph serves as a reminder of how scientific exploration can lead us towards innovative solutions for human health challenges.
