EDITORS COMMENTS
In this scanning electron microscope image, we are granted an up-close and intricately detailed view of the head of a Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly, Aglais urticae. The image, which is 25 times larger than its standard 9cm width, reveals the complex anatomy of this exquisite arthropod. Colored artificially by computer, the image showcases the vibrant blue hues of the butterfly's compound eyes, a striking contrast to the intricate patterns and textures of its head. The Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly, also known as the Aglais or Four-footed Butterfly due to the four pads on the underside of its thorax, is a common sight during the daytime hours. This brush-footed butterfly, belonging to the order Lepidoptera and the family Nymphalidae, is a favorite among nature enthusiasts for its distinctive appearance and graceful flight. The image reveals the intricate details of the butterfly's head, including the antennae, labrum, mandibles, and maxillae. The antennae, which are covered in tiny sensory hairs, are used for detecting odors and sensing air currents. The labrum, a small, flat structure located at the front of the head, serves as a protective shield for the insect's mouthparts. The mandibles and maxillae, which make up the butterfly's mouthparts, are used for biting and chewing food. This mesmerizing image, captured by Chris Jones and artfully colored by Alex Ball, offers a unique perspective on the beauty and complexity of the natural world. It serves as a reminder of the intricate and often overlooked details that make up the wonders of the animal kingdom.
