Encarsia wasp head, SEM
Parasitic wasp. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of the wasp Encarsia formosa, a parasite of garden whitefly. Whitefly are a common pest of garden plants and crops. The wasps lay their eggs in the immature forms of the whitefly, killing them. They are so quick and efficient at this, especially in an enclosed area such as a greenhouse, that they are preferred to chemical pesticides. Magnification: x200 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate head of an Encarsia wasp, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors highlight the beauty and complexity of this parasitic wasp, which plays a crucial role in biological pest control. Encarsia formosa is known for its ability to combat garden whitefly infestations, a common nuisance for plants and crops. These tiny wasps lay their eggs inside the immature forms of whiteflies, effectively killing them and preventing further damage. Their remarkable speed and efficiency make them highly sought after as an alternative to chemical pesticides. The SEM magnification at x200 reveals fascinating details such as the compound eyes and delicate antennae that help these insects navigate their environment. This image serves as a reminder of nature's ingenious strategies for maintaining balance in ecosystems. With its scientific significance in zoology and entomology, this photograph not only captivates with its aesthetic appeal but also offers valuable insights into the world of insects. It highlights the importance of understanding these often overlooked creatures' roles in our natural environment while showcasing the power of visual technology like SEM to explore their hidden wonders.
