EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of nature's parasites. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph, we are granted a close-up view of mites infesting a click beetle. The mites, identified as Fuscuropoda marginata, can be observed clinging to the beetle's legs with remarkable precision. Mites belong to a diverse group that has mastered the art of parasitism on both animal and plant hosts. While some species feed on decaying matter, these particular mites have chosen the click beetle as their target. Click beetles are known for their ability to produce an audible clicking sound when threatened or disturbed. Although fascinating from a scientific standpoint, these tiny arachnids can become pests in gardens if their population grows unchecked. Click beetle larvae, which undergo metamorphosis before reaching adulthood, pose potential threats to garden plants when present in large numbers. The photograph offers us an opportunity to marvel at the intricacies of wildlife on a microscopic scale. With a magnification level of x20 at 5x7cm size, it allows us to appreciate the delicate details and interactions within this miniature ecosystem. Science Photo Library continues its mission to capture awe-inspiring moments like this one—reminding us of nature's complexity and beauty while providing valuable insights into our natural world.
