Ground beetle head, SEM
Ground beetle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of a ground beetle (family Carabidae). The beetles large jaws (mandibles) can be seen at upper right (yellow). Most ground beetles are fast-running predators which are active at night. The large jaws are used for catching and eating other invertebrates. They are named ground beetles as they spend most of their time on or under the ground. Magnification x10 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a ground beetle's head, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the fascinating world of nature and wildlife. At first glance, one cannot help but be drawn to the beetle's large jaws, prominently displayed in yellow at the upper right corner. These powerful mandibles serve as formidable tools for capturing and devouring other invertebrates. Ground beetles belong to the Carabidae family and are renowned for their speed and predatory instincts. Active primarily during nighttime, these agile creatures spend most of their time either on or beneath the ground. Their name aptly reflects this behavior. The photograph offers an up-close look at this remarkable creature, magnified ten times when printed at 10 centimeters wide. Every single detail is meticulously captured – from its eyes to its anatomical structure – providing valuable insights into its biology and predator-prey dynamics. This image not only appeals to enthusiasts of zoology and entomology but also serves as a testament to the wonders of our natural world. It reminds us that even within seemingly ordinary insects lies extraordinary beauty waiting to be discovered.
