Ant feet, SEM
Ant feet. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the tip of two legs from an ant (family Formicidae). The end of an insect leg consists of the final segment, which is called the tarsus. The tarsus itself has several segments, and here ends in a pretarsus that has two claws (orange). An ant has six jointed legs. Ants are social insects that can form large colonies.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of ant feet, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image focuses on the tip of two legs from an ant belonging to the family Formicidae. At this close-up level, we can observe the final segment of an insect leg known as the tarsus. The tarsus itself is composed of multiple segments and culminates in a pretarsus featuring two striking orange claws. Ants, being social insects capable of forming large colonies, possess six jointed legs that enable them to navigate their environment with remarkable agility. This photograph not only highlights their impressive locomotive capabilities but also provides valuable insights into their anatomy. The SEM technique employed here allows us to delve deeper into nature's wonders by revealing details otherwise invisible to the naked eye. By magnifying these tiny structures, scientists are able to study and understand various aspects of animal life more comprehensively. Through this visually stunning image, we gain a newfound appreciation for the complexity and sophistication found within even seemingly mundane creatures like ants. It serves as a reminder that there is always more than meets the eye when it comes to exploring our natural world – from its smallest inhabitants up to its grandest landscapes.
