Dermestid beetle, SEM
Dermestid beetle. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM(=) of a dermestid beetle. Dermestidae are a family of Coleoptera that are commonly referred to as skin beetles. Other common names include larder beetle, hide or leather beetles, and carpet beetles. Adult dermestids commonly eat pollen and feed on various flowers. The larvae are the damaging life stage. Dermestids have a variety of habits; most genera are scavengers that feed on dry animal or plant material, such as skin or pollen, animal hair, feathers, dead insects and natural fibers. These beetles are significant in forensic entomology. Some species are pests and can cause extensive damage to natural fibers in homes and businesses. They are used in taxidermy and by natural history museums to clean animal skeletons. Magnification: x 40 at 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Dermestid beetle captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The Dermestidae family, commonly known as skin beetles, larder beetles, hide or leather beetles, and carpet beetles, are depicted in stunning detail. The image reveals the false-colored exoskeleton of this fascinating creature. Adult dermestids typically consume pollen and various flowers while their larvae pose a threat to different materials. With diverse habits, most genera scavenge on dry animal or plant matter such as skin, pollen, feathers, dead insects, and natural fibers. Notably significant in forensic entomology due to their role in decomposition processes, some species of dermestids can also be pests causing extensive damage to natural fibers found within homes and businesses. However, these resilient creatures find purpose beyond destruction. Taxidermy enthusiasts and natural history museums employ dermestid beetles for their unique ability to clean animal skeletons meticulously. Their contribution aids in preserving delicate skeletal structures with precision. Photographed by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo at 40x magnification with a width of 10cm wide; this print is an extraordinary testament to the wonders that lie beneath our naked eyes. Appreciate nature's intricacy up close with this remarkable piece that combines science and art seamlessly.
