Coloured SEM of a Coenosia fly eating a Drosophila
Fly eating another fly. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a large fly (Coenosia humilis, orange) eating a smaller fruit fly (Drosophila sp.). Predatory insects such as this usually use a long proboscis to puncture their preys hard outer layer and suck the softer innards out, leaving a dry husk. Magnification: x20 at 6x7cm size

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 captures a mesmerizing moment in the world of insects. A coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals a Coenosia fly, adorned in vibrant orange hues, feasting on its prey - a smaller fruit fly known as Drosophila. The intricate details showcased by this SEM allow us to witness nature's predatory instincts up close. Predatory insects like the Coenosia fly employ a long proboscis to pierce through their victim's tough outer layer and extract the tender insides, leaving behind only an empty shell. This remarkable feeding behavior is beautifully depicted in this image, serving as a testament to the wonders of zoology and wildlife. With magnification at 20 times its original size, this 6x7cm print offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of these tiny creatures that often go unnoticed by our naked eyes. It serves as a reminder that even within the smallest corners of our natural world lies incredible diversity and complexity. As we explore this photograph further, we are reminded of the delicate balance between predator and prey in ecosystems worldwide. Nature's intricately woven tapestry comes alive through images such as these from Science Photo Library – showcasing not just scientific marvels but also stirring emotions about our interconnectedness with all living beings on Earth.
