Canvas Print : Damselfly nymph
Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
Damselfly nymph
Damselfly nymph (Coenagrion sp.). Head and thorax of a damselfly at the nymph stage. The thorax contains three pairs of legs and a pair of undeveloped wings. The end of the abdomen has three caudal gills with large breathing tubes (trachea). Damselflies undergo incomplete metamorphosis. This involves three stages of development; the egg, nymph and adult stage. The adult female lays eggs in water and nymphs emerge when the eggs hatch. Nymphs are carnivorous and use mandibles to feed on daphnia, mosquito larvae, and other small aquatic organisms. Winged adults emerge after the nymph has moulted several times

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Damselfly nymph at its developmental stage. The head and thorax of this Coenagrion sp. species reveal fascinating features that contribute to its survival in an aquatic environment. With three pairs of legs and underdeveloped wings, the thorax serves as a vital component for movement and stability. The abdomen stands out with three caudal gills accompanied by large breathing tubes known as trachea, enabling efficient respiration underwater. This image beautifully captures the essence of incomplete metamorphosis, a process involving three distinct stages: egg, nymph, and adult. As part of their carnivorous nature, these nymphs utilize their mandibles to feed on daphnia, mosquito larvae, and other small aquatic organisms. After undergoing multiple molts during their nymphal stage, they eventually transform into winged adults ready to take flight into the world. Photographed from above in a studio setting, this image provides an up-close view of various biological aspects such as compound eyes and segmented body structure. It offers valuable insights into the enthralling world of damselflies while highlighting their significant role within ecosystems. This remarkable photograph is courtesy of Science Photo Library – an invaluable resource for scientific imagery capturing diverse subjects ranging from wildlife to biology – showcasing the wonders found within our natural world.
