SEM of ground beetle
Ground beetle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a ground or carab beetle (family Carabidae) with a fly (grey) in its jaws. The beetles compound eyes (orange) are seen at lower left and top centre. Most of these beetles are fast-running carnivores which are active at night. They are named ground beetles as they spend most of their time on or under the ground. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a ground beetle in action. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the true essence of this fascinating creature, as it proudly displays its prey - a helpless fly caught firmly between its jaws. The image highlights the remarkable features of the ground beetle, with its compound eyes prominently displayed in vibrant orange hues at both lower left and top centre. These compound eyes allow for exceptional vision, aiding these fast-running carnivores in their nocturnal hunting endeavors. Ground beetles are aptly named due to their preference for spending most of their time on or beneath the earth's surface. This particular species belongs to the Carabidae family, known for their predatory nature and swift movements. Their presence is crucial in maintaining ecological balance by controlling populations of other insects. The photograph invites us into a world often unseen by human eyes, offering an up-close look at the wonders of nature's diversity. It serves as a reminder that even within our own backyards, countless extraordinary creatures exist, each playing a vital role in our ecosystem. With magnification unknown but undoubtedly impressive, this SEM print captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time – one where survival instincts prevail and nature's beauty unfolds before us.
