EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a crane fly, also known as a daddy-long-legs. The scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals stunning details of this primitive insect's anatomy. The vibrant red compound eyes immediately draw attention, showcasing the remarkable vision possessed by these creatures. Moving downwards, we can observe the well-defined thorax and abdomen, extending towards the bottom left corner of the image. These body segments provide essential support and house vital organs for survival. One cannot help but be mesmerized by the long and fragile legs that characterize crane flies. These delicate appendages are crucial for their graceful movements in flight or on land. Interestingly, they possess an intriguing ability to discard their legs if they become trapped—a unique adaptation that allows them to escape potential threats. Although not visible in this particular image, it is worth noting that crane flies have a single pair of wings—an important feature distinguishing them from other insects. This SEM magnification at 26 times its original size provides us with an up-close encounter with nature's wonders. With its scientific precision and artistic flair, this print serves as a testament to both the complexity and elegance found within our natural world—making it an ideal addition for any enthusiast interested in nature, animals, wildlife, zoology or entomology.
