Coloured SEM of a shield bug (Elasmostethus sp. )
Shield bug feeding. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a shield bug (Elasmostethus interstinctus) feeding on a leaf. Its tube-like proboscis (green) can be seen tapping into the leaf beneath its triangular head (centre left). Its small compound eyes (pink) can also be seen, along with its two long antennae. Its wings are seen lying flat against its body, with one placed on top of the other. This arrangement is a characteristic of the sub-order Heteroptera, to which these bugs belong. Shield bugs feed almost exclusively on plant juices, as seen here. Magnification: x4 at 6x7cm size. x8.5 at 5x7 inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a shield bug (Elasmostethus sp. ) as it feeds on a leaf. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the bug's tube-like proboscis, colored in vibrant green, delicately tapping into the leaf beneath its triangular head positioned towards the center-left. The bug's small compound eyes, tinted in pink hues, and its two long antennae are also visible in this stunning image. The wings of this shield bug lie flat against its body with one wing placed atop the other - a distinct characteristic of bugs belonging to the sub-order Heteroptera. These fascinating creatures primarily sustain themselves by extracting plant juices, as vividly depicted here. With magnification at x4 for 6x7cm size prints and x8.5 for 5x7 inch prints, every minute detail is brought to life through this photograph from Science Photo Library. It offers an up-close look at nature's wonders and showcases the beauty found within insects' microscopic world. This image serves as a reminder of how diverse and intriguing our wildlife can be when observed closely. It highlights not only the feeding habits of shield bugs but also their unique physical features that make them stand out among other invertebrates.
