EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a crane fly, also known as Tipula maxima or daddy long legs. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), we are able to witness the mesmerizing details of this fascinating insect. At the center left, we can observe its head adorned with a pair of delicate antennae, positioned between its striking compound eyes that shimmer in shades of orange. The wings gracefully emerge from its humped thorax at both upper left and right corners, displaying an ethereal pattern unique to this species. What sets this image apart is the presence of halteres behind the true wings. These club-shaped projections play a crucial role in maintaining balance for these graceful creatures as they navigate their surroundings. It's truly remarkable how nature has equipped them with such ingenious adaptations. With a magnification factor of x6 at 6x7cm size or x15 at 5x7inssize, every minute detail is brought to life within this photograph print. This stunning portrayal not only highlights the sheer beauty found in nature but also serves as a reminder of the vast diversity and complexity present within our natural world. Captured by Science Photo Library, renowned for their exceptional wildlife photography and dedication to scientific exploration, this image invites us into an enchanting realm where even tiny insects like crane flies can captivate our imagination.
