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

Anobium Punctatum Beetle Flying Jointed Legs Pest Bookworm
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 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.
