Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Female mosquito head, SEM
Female mosquito head. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of a female mosquito (family Culicidae). The mosquitos head is dominated by its large compound eyes (pink). Sprouting from between its eyes are the large antennae, which are sensory organs. The long thin proboscis protruding from the bottom of the head is used to pierce the skin and suck the blood of an animal host. Only female mosquitoes suck blood. Several mosquito species are vectors for human diseases, including malaria and yellow fever

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a female mosquito's head, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the fascinating world of this tiny creature from the Culicidae family. The most striking feature is undoubtedly its large compound eyes, beautifully tinted in pink hues. These eyes dominate the mosquito's head and provide it with an exceptional visual acuity. Sprouting between those mesmerizing eyes are its long antennae, acting as sensory organs that help navigate its surroundings. However, what truly captures attention is the long and slender proboscis protruding from the bottom of its head. This specialized mouthpart serves a rather unsettling purpose – piercing animal skin to extract blood for nourishment. It is important to note that only female mosquitoes engage in this blood-sucking behavior. While these buzzing insects may seem harmless at first glance, several species among them act as vectors for human diseases such as malaria and yellow fever. Their ability to transmit these illnesses makes them significant subjects of study within zoology and biology fields. Through this stunning photograph by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into both the beauty and complexity found within nature's smallest creatures while also acknowledging their potential impact on our health and well-being.
