Aphid head, SEM
Aphid. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of an aphid (sub-order Homoptera). The horn-like projections (top left and right corner) are antennae and compound eyes (orange, centre left and right) are seen. The mouthparts (lower centre) are used to penetrate a plant and suck sap from the plants veins. The first of three pairs of walking legs are seen at lower left and bottom right corner. Aphids multiply rapidly and as such are serious pests of flowers, vegetables and some fruit crops. Magnification: x175 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of an aphid's head, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The horn-like projections on the top left and right corners are actually antennae, while the vibrant orange structures in the center left and right are compound eyes. Positioned at the lower center, we can observe the mouthparts that enable these tiny creatures to penetrate plants and extract sap from their veins. Aphids, belonging to the sub-order Homoptera, reproduce rapidly and pose a significant threat as pests to flowers, vegetables, and certain fruit crops. This image serves as a reminder of their potential impact on agriculture. With a magnification of x175 at 6x7cm size, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of these small insects. As we delve into this microcosmic world through photography, it becomes evident how enthralling nature truly is. From its vivid colors to its remarkable adaptations for survival, every aspect leaves us in awe. Let this image spark curiosity about our natural surroundings – whether it be exploring wild life or delving into zoology – there is always something new waiting to be discovered within our environment's smallest inhabitants.
