EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a female March fly, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Belonging to the family Bibionidae, these stout insects are commonly spotted fluttering around flowers during the refreshing spring and early summer seasons. However, their larvae have a different agenda as they feed on plant roots and decaying vegetation, occasionally causing trouble as plant pests. The visual disparity between male and female March flies is evident in this image. The female depicted here exhibits her delicate features while contrasting with the male's prominent head and larger eyes. This sexual dimorphism adds an intriguing element to their species' dynamics. With a magnification of x16 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this artwork by Steve Gschmeissner brings forth an awe-inspiring level of detail that would otherwise go unnoticed by our naked eyes. Through computer-generated techniques, this digital masterpiece allows us to appreciate the hidden beauty within nature's smallest creations. Whether you're an insect enthusiast or simply drawn to mesmerizing scientific imagery, this print serves as both an educational tool and a stunning piece of art for your collection.
