EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a female human flea, captured under a light microscope. The image reveals the unique characteristics of these wingless creatures that are often found hidden in hair due to their flattened shape from side to side. Their hind legs, prominently enlarged, enable them to execute impressive jumps. However, beyond their remarkable physical attributes lies a darker truth - fleas act as vectors for various diseases. This photograph serves as a reminder of the potential health risks associated with these tiny parasites. The absence of distinctive genitalia distinguishes this particular female flea from its male counterpart. With an impressive magnification level of x15 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail is brought into sharp focus through this vertical scientific image. Photographed by Steve Gschmeissner and available through Fine Art Storehouse, this print exemplifies the intersection between art and science. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the aesthetic beauty but also the biological complexity present within even the smallest organisms on our planet.
