Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Gall on the leaf of a beech tree
Gall on the leaf of a beech tree (Fagus sp.). Formation of galls is triggered by the sap-sucking larvae of the beech gall midge Hartigola annulipes. The leaf is damaged by the sucking action and a gall, 3-5mm in length, forms. The gall encloses the larva where the midge can continue to develop unharmed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nature's response to a tiny yet fascinating creature. The image captures a gall on the leaf of a beech tree, formed as a result of the sap-sucking larvae of the beech gall midge Hartigola annulipes. As these larvae feed on the leaf, their sucking action damages it and triggers the formation of a gall measuring 3-5mm in length. The gall serves as a protective enclosure for the developing larva, allowing it to continue its growth undisturbed. This remarkable process exemplifies the complex interplay between plants and insects in our natural world. With its vibrant colors and delicate structure, this photograph invites us to marvel at both the resilience of nature and its ability to adapt. It offers an opportunity to delve into various scientific disciplines such as botany, zoology, entomology, and pathology. Through this image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded that even within seemingly ordinary elements like leaves or trees lie extraordinary stories waiting to be discovered. Let this print serve as an inspiration for further exploration into biology and ecology while appreciating the wonders that exist right before our eyes in every corner of our wild landscapes.
