Dermestid beetle, SEM
Dermestid beetle. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM(=) of a dermestid beetle. Dermestidae are a family of Coleoptera that are commonly referred to as skin beetles. Other common names include larder beetle, hide or leather beetles, and carpet beetles. Adult dermestids commonly eat pollen and feed on various flowers. The larvae are the damaging life stage. Dermestids have a variety of habits; most genera are scavengers that feed on dry animal or plant material, such as skin or pollen, animal hair, feathers, dead insects and natural fibers. These beetles are significant in forensic entomology. Some species are pests and can cause extensive damage to natural fibers in homes and businesses. They are used in taxidermy and by natural history museums to clean animal skeletons. Magnification: x 40 at 10cm wide

Coloured False Coloured Carpet Beetle
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Dermestid beetle captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The Dermestidae family, commonly known as skin beetles, larder beetles, hide or leather beetles, and carpet beetles, are depicted in stunning detail. The image reveals the false-colored exoskeleton of this fascinating creature. Adult dermestids typically consume pollen and various flowers while their larvae pose a threat to different materials. With diverse habits, most genera scavenge on dry animal or plant matter such as skin, pollen, feathers, dead insects, and natural fibers. Notably significant in forensic entomology due to their role in decomposition processes, some species of dermestids can also be pests causing extensive damage to natural fibers found within homes and businesses. However, these resilient creatures find purpose beyond destruction. Taxidermy enthusiasts and natural history museums employ dermestid beetles for their unique ability to clean animal skeletons meticulously. Their contribution aids in preserving delicate skeletal structures with precision. Photographed by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo at 40x magnification with a width of 10cm wide; this print is an extraordinary testament to the wonders that lie beneath our naked eyes. Appreciate nature's intricacy up close with this remarkable piece that combines science and art seamlessly.
