Woodworm beetle in flight
Woodworm beetle (Anobium punctatum) in flight. Computer manipulated coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the woodworm beetle. This insect, also known as the furniture beetle, is the adult stage of the woodworm. Woodworm is a grub which lives for up to four years in wood, often preferring the dry, seasoned wood of human dwellings. It creates tunnels, secreting the enzyme cellulase to break down the cellulose. In its adult stage it doesn t feed, living only long enough to reproduce

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing flight of a Woodworm beetle (Anobium punctatum). Through computer manipulation, this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) captures the intricate details of this insect in flight. Commonly known as the furniture beetle, it represents the adult stage of the woodworm life cycle. Woodworms are grubs that spend up to four years living within wood, particularly favoring dry and seasoned timber found in human dwellings. They create tunnels by secreting cellulase, an enzyme that breaks down cellulose. However, once they reach adulthood, these beetles do not feed and instead focus solely on reproducing. The image highlights the remarkable features of this creature's biology. Its jointed legs and vibrant coloration make it a fascinating subject for entomologists studying invertebrates like beetles. The Woodworm beetle is often considered a pest due to its destructive nature towards wooden structures. Displayed against a black background, this photograph from Science Photo Library beautifully captures the essence of wildlife photography while providing valuable insights into zoology and biology. It serves as a reminder of nature's incredible diversity and complexity, even at microscopic levels.
