Butterfly scales, SEM
Butterfly scales. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of scales on the wing of the swallowtail butterfly (Papilio machaon). They are attached to the wing membrane by a short stalk, which fits into a tubular socket. The colour of the butterflys wing is determined by the pigmentation of the scales and also by diffraction of light by the surface of each scale. The swallowtail butterfly inhabits fields and meadows in Europe, North Africa and parts of Asia. Magnification: x308 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of butterfly scales. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of the delicate scales that adorn the wing of a swallowtail butterfly (Papilio machaon). Each scale is attached to the wing membrane by a short stalk, seamlessly fitting into a tubular socket. The mesmerizing colours displayed on the butterfly's wing are determined by both pigmentation and diffraction of light on each individual scale's surface. This natural phenomenon creates an enchanting spectacle for those lucky enough to witness it in person. Swallowtail butterflies can be found gracefully fluttering through fields and meadows across Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. Their presence adds vibrancy to these landscapes as they go about their vital role in pollination. With its magnification at x308 and captured at 6x7cm size, this image allows us to appreciate nature's remarkable details that often go unnoticed by our naked eyes. It serves as a reminder that even within the tiniest creatures lies extraordinary beauty waiting to be discovered. This stunning photograph from Science Photo Library invites us into the fascinating world of insects, inviting contemplation about their essential place in our ecosystem while showcasing their undeniable allure.
