Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a leaf beetle, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image focuses on the underside of this remarkable creature from the Chrysomelidae family, revealing its three pairs of jointed legs in stunning detail. Leaf beetles are renowned for their vibrant colors, serving as a warning to potential predators that they possess toxic properties. This defense mechanism helps them survive in nature's vast tapestry. However, despite their mesmerizing appearance and ecological significance, many leaf beetles pose serious threats to gardens and crops due to their pest-like behavior. The photograph not only highlights the fascinating world of insects but also provides valuable insights into zoology and entomology. It offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at the complexity of these tiny creatures that play vital roles within our ecosystems. With its false-colored presentation, this SEM image allows us to appreciate every minute aspect of the leaf beetle's anatomy—each leg meticulously cut out against a contrasting background. By capturing this single moment frozen in time, Science Photo Library invites us into an enchanting realm where biology meets artistry.
