Antique Framed Print : Locust, SEM
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Locust, SEM
Locust. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a locust (order Orthoptera). These insects feed on vegetation in arid areas. Some species of locust form huge swarms of millions of individuals when their population rises above a critical level. Such swarms destroy all vegetation in their path. Magnification: x3 when printed 10 cm high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a locust, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors and precise imaging bring to life the remarkable features of this insect belonging to the order Orthoptera. Locusts are notorious for their feeding habits, particularly in arid regions where they consume vegetation as their primary source of sustenance. In certain circumstances, when the population of locusts surpasses a critical threshold, these creatures have been known to form massive swarms consisting of millions of individuals. As depicted in this image, such swarms can wreak havoc on their path by devouring all plant life that comes in their way. This destructive behavior has earned them notoriety as pests within agricultural communities. The SEM magnification factor reveals intricate details that would otherwise go unnoticed by the naked eye. From its jointed legs to its distinct body structure, every aspect is meticulously portrayed in this false-colored micrograph. This photograph serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and entomologists studying locust biology and behavior. Through this stunning visual representation from Science Photo Library, we gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity and beauty found within nature's diverse animal kingdom.
