Moth proboscis, SEM
Moth proboscis. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the tip of a coiled proboscis of a moth (order Lepidoptera). The proboscis is an elongated hollow tube (blue), used for sucking up nectar and other liquids. The tip has sensilla (red), insect sensory organs. These sensilla allow the moth to taste its food

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a moth proboscis. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of the coiled tip of the proboscis, which is an elongated hollow tube used by moths for sipping nectar and other liquids. The vibrant blue hue emphasizes its delicate structure, while the red sensilla, or sensory organs, at the tip catch our attention. These sensilla play a crucial role in allowing moths to taste their food. Acting as insect taste buds, they enable these fascinating creatures to discern flavors and determine whether something is palatable or not. This image offers us a glimpse into the world of zoology and entomology, highlighting how animals have evolved unique adaptations to survive and thrive in their environments. The spiral shape of the proboscis adds another layer of visual interest to this photograph. It serves as a reminder that nature's designs can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. With its false-colored presentation achieved through scanning electron microscopy techniques, this print captures not only biological details but also sparks curiosity about anatomy and biology. Overall, this stunning image invites us to appreciate the wonders found within even seemingly small organisms like moths while reminding us that there is still so much left to explore in our natural world.
