Bloodworm tail
Bloodworms tail. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the tail of a bloodworm (Chironomus sp.). The bloodworm is the freshwater larva of a midge. It is able to live in stagnant water and muddy pools because the haemoglobin in its body helps to absorb what little oxygen there is. It is also this haemoglobin which leads to the red colour from which the larva gains its common name. It is used in fishing as bait

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a bloodworm tail, captured using a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The bloodworm, which is the larva of a freshwater midge known as Chironomus sp. , possesses an extraordinary ability to thrive in stagnant water and muddy pools. This survival skill can be attributed to the presence of haemoglobin in its body, which aids in absorbing the limited oxygen available in such environments. Interestingly, it is this very haemoglobin that gives the larva its striking red coloration, hence earning it the common name "bloodworm". The image beautifully highlights the delicate hairs and hooks present on the bloodworm's tail. These features play crucial roles for this tiny creature's existence. While not explicitly mentioned for commercial use like fishing bait, it is worth noting that these attributes make bloodworms highly sought after by anglers. Through this photograph from Science Photo Library, we are offered a glimpse into nature's remarkable adaptations and biodiversity. It serves as a reminder of how even seemingly insignificant organisms possess fascinating qualities that contribute to our understanding of biology and zoology. Whether appreciated for their scientific value or admired for their aesthetic appeal, images like these allow us to marvel at Earth's incredible wildlife and appreciate its wonders through artful exploration with advanced technology such as SEMs.
