Coloured SEM of a Coenosia fly eating a Drosophila
Fly eating another fly. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a large fly (Coenosia humilis, orange) eating a smaller fruit fly (Drosophila sp.). Predatory insects such as this usually use a long proboscis to puncture their preys hard outer layer and suck the softer innards out, leaving a dry husk. Magnification: x20 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the world of insects. A coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals a Coenosia fly, adorned in vibrant orange hues, feasting on its prey - a smaller fruit fly known as Drosophila. The intricate details showcased by this SEM allow us to witness nature's predatory instincts up close. Predatory insects like the Coenosia fly employ a long proboscis to pierce through their victim's tough outer layer and extract the tender insides, leaving behind only an empty shell. This remarkable feeding behavior is beautifully depicted in this image, serving as a testament to the wonders of zoology and wildlife. With magnification at 20 times its original size, this 6x7cm print offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of these tiny creatures that often go unnoticed by our naked eyes. It serves as a reminder that even within the smallest corners of our natural world lies incredible diversity and complexity. As we explore this photograph further, we are reminded of the delicate balance between predator and prey in ecosystems worldwide. Nature's intricately woven tapestry comes alive through images such as these from Science Photo Library – showcasing not just scientific marvels but also stirring emotions about our interconnectedness with all living beings on Earth.
